Yes, tanks take alot of room. I have 5 tanks for the beardies, I don't use the front openings, they were too expensive, so have 40 gallon breeders with no tops & the power suns hand from lamp stands. My biggest dragon Rubio is in a 75 gallon tank behind the couch, he just walked out of the 40 gallon when he got to his full growth so he had to switch, now he can't get out of the 75 gallon, the walls are 2' tall! The two geckos are across the living room, in smaller tanks, so easy to care for. Tax time is always a great time to get new stuff & front-opening tanks are great, that's what I have for the geckos. It'll be nice to see your new set ups. I was told Power Suns weren't good either, but I've been lucky, they've always worked for me. I've been using them since 2008. Because I have so many, at tax time last year I got myself a solar meter, so I can check to make sure the UVB is good on each light at the distance I keep them. It's paid for itself, because I have 6 lights!
