[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 1901918, member: 31715"] You should bias the uv to one side. It should be up against the hot side, and extend over to the cool side. This allows for a nice uv gradient, and for the lowest uv exposure in the tank to be at the cool end. Lower uv and cooler temps go hand in hand and mimic the wild more. Naturally, they would go somewhere with shade cover to cool down, which would have lower uv exposure. And naturally, where they bask should have the highest uv exposure in the tank. As far as front to back goes, I center it over the basking area. But it's not the biggest deal. The placement side to side is more important imo. In regards to supplemental lighting, it might be a good idea simply since your tank is so large. I still tend to like the shade method for the cool end, so I personally dont mind a bit lower lux on that end (all this is with gradients of course) but you could definitely use either a low wattage incandescent (might not be too bright at a low wattage) or you can be my Guinea pig and buy that LED array I found :laughing6: -Brandon [/QUOTE]
