Okay so I'm going through some trial and error here. For my basking light I have an Exo Terra 50W Intense Basking Spot bulb that boasts +75% Intense on the box. Now I've left this on for an hour and my hot side of the tank capped at 78F (I have a 40gal). I'm going to go to PetSmart today for a few things and I'm thinking I may need a higher wattage bulb. I think they make it in a 75W so that's what I'm gonna try.
Now, I've been seeing a few people mention dimming the lights.. Should I buy a fixture for the basking spot that dims for better control? Do you recommend a higher wattage bulb? Thanks for yor help!
