[QUOTE="blakemw65, post: 1991119, member: 114234"] [USER=97951]@KarrieRee[/USER] Thank you! I have ordered the 36" Pro T 5 Arcadia 12%, and for the time being will use our existing dome fixture and bulb for the basking lamp. I do have a remaining question about the placement of the T5 strip and basking lamp in relation to each other and the enclosure itself. Both of course will go on the hot side of the enclosure. But regarding placement: 1.) Keeping in mind the enclosure dimensions (24" x 24" X 60"), would you center the T5 strip front to back, or should it be closer to the back? 2.) And would you position the basking lamp right next to it or separated some? I am concerned that if our BD is basking directly under the basking lamp, the basking lamp dome would block out the UVB T5? Just to make it visual, below is what I am planning, viewing the enclosure from overhead: [ATTACH type="full" alt="lighting.jpg"]70183[/ATTACH] Is this appropriate? Should I reverse this—centering the basking lamp instead and install the UVB off-center? (I am concerned that because the 24" depth this might not provide even UVB coverage). Should I space the two fixtures further apart. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
