wide hole

wide hole

Leave it on the screen and put a piece of basking decor directly under it - measure the distance from the UVB to the decor piece - if its 8-10 inches your good - do you plan on upgrading to a 120 gallon tank

4x2x2 18 inches height

its 24" high -UVB needs to go inside the tank approx 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor - you can hang w/ picture wire hangers I recommend those they are bendable - long plastic zip ties - 3M velcro fasteners
