OP has stated numerous times that she doesnt want to add more UV to the tank (it's even in the title of this thread...), so clearly she isnt going to be getting an mvb so no need to worry about dimming it...kingofnobbys":3edwt8l5 said:Can't dim MVBs , so it's a matter of trial and error to get the right globe to basking spot distance to get a basking spot temperature in the range 36 degC to 40 degC.
Only trustworthy brands of MVBs are Zoo Med, Exo Terra and Arcadia Reptile.
