No he needs the D 3 5 x per week ONCE per feeding - calcium w/ out D 3 will come when he's a year IF you go to a T 5 - if not you will still haft to give the D 3 more often w/ a T 8The calcium i currently use is repti calcium with D3. I do it once daily. Is this to much D3? his lights are on for 12 hours a day. he has a t8 10.0 8 inches from the basking spot mounted inside. i have a calcium powder without d3 if that would be better. hes roughly 2 and a half months old if that matters.
ok I plan on upgrading to a t5 in may but would it make much of a difference if i was providing him with the calcium with d3? like are there differences in getting the proper d3 through the powder vs the uvb?No he needs the D 3 5 x per week ONCE per feeding - calcium w/ out D 3 will come when he's a year IF you go to a T 5 - if not you will still haft to give the D 3 more often w/ a T 8
W/ the T 5 you still haft to give D3 just not as often -- like maybe once a week and the calcium w/ out D3 the other 2 times per week - w/ a T 8 you would need to give that 3 times per week - the T 8 is not as good as providing the D3 like the T 5 isok I plan on upgrading to a t5 in may but would it make much of a difference if i was providing him with the calcium with d3? like are there differences in getting the proper d3 through the powder vs the uvb?
ok thank you i will be upgrading in may. what length would you recommend for a 48 inch long tank. my current one is 36 inches. is that good or would i be able to go smaller?W/ the T 5 you still haft to give D3 just not as often -- like maybe once a week and the calcium w/ out D3 the other 2 times per week - w/ a T 8 you would need to give that 3 times per week - the T 8 is not as good as providing the D3 like the T 5 is
I would go w/ a 24" that would be 1/2 of your tank-- I would look for a 24 watt Arcadia pro T 5 w/ a 12% bulbok thank you i will be upgrading in may. what length would you recommend for a 48 inch long tank. my current one is 36 inches. is that good or would i be able to go smaller?
would a repti sun t5 be good as well? when i get it would i need to position it in the middle or to one side?I would go w/ a 24" that would be 1/2 of your tank-- I would look for a 24 watt Arcadia pro T 5 w/ a 12% bulb
Are you talking about the fixture or bulb itself - you want it as close to your basking bulb as you can get - just make sure your distance is 12-15 inches directly above the basking decorwould a repti sun t5 be good as well? when i get it would i need to position it in the middle or to one side?
my basking area is in a corner so my uvb would need to be pushed to one side but then it wouldnt be working on the other half of the tankAre you talking about the fixture or bulb itself - you want it as close to your basking bulb as you can get - just make sure your distance is 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor
You only need it so he can get directly under the uvb - it doesn't matter if it's in the middle or on one end-my basking area is in a corner so my uvb would need to be pushed to one side but then it wouldnt be working on the other half of the tank
ok thank youYou only need it so he can get directly under the uvb - it doesn't matter if it's in the middle or on one end-
if set the t5 on top of the screen instead of inside how far from the basking spot would it need to be? if i do it the proper distance on top of the screen would it still give off the proper amount or would it be better inside anyway?You only need it so he can get directly under the uvb - it doesn't matter if it's in the middle or on one end-
It needs to be inside the tank w/ a 4x2x2 tank -- directly over the basking spot 12-15 inchesif

ok thank you. i was wondering because its definetly easier to adjust on top but i will put it inside.It needs to be inside the tank w/ a 4x2x2 tank -- directly over the basking spot 12-15 inches
