Welcome you have definitely done your homework and gotten good lighting- you will need these
2 digital probe thermometers - the uvb needs to go inside the tank approx 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor - I would recommend the basking bulb sit on top of the screen - your heat emitter on top of screen in center of the tank--

I inserted a picture of the ones that I bought so those are no good?

They can be used in the tank for ambient - but you want 2 digital probe thermometers - zoo med pet smart and Petco carry them - I also recommend a digital probe hygrometer -- zoo med sells them too- you want the probe placed on the center back wall of the tank-- optimal humidity is 40-50% nothing under 20 and over 70%

Thank you so it’s not recommended for the baskin and the heat emmiter to be on the inside? These are the lamps I bought

They can be it's up to you - it's just easier to have them on top- but you do want the uvb inside the tank-- utilize the bars running inside the tank on the screen

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
