3 M Velcro fasteners - long plastic zip ties- fishing line or picture wire hangers I recommend those

Would metal zip ties work better? I have both. How would you recommend hanging the basking bulb?

Yes get your uvb hung closest to your basking bulb - I have two different basking areas- one set up for middle of tank w/ temps in the 90's and uvb there- and the hotter side in the back of tank

I thought you should have one side hot and one side cold? Wouldn’t the bulb in the middle throw that off?

Mine does not- cool side is 80's- I use a 75 watt in the middle of the tank behind the uvb

The only thing different in the tank now is the UVB was lowered down to around 12" - the big rock / hide under it was moved to the back of the tank under the plant - Blaze has impaired eye sight now and we have not figured out as to why- he doesnt climb on anything too much any more and stays on the floor of the tank - he navigates his tank but as far as climbing any more he doesnt do
