So, I’m working on a 100 gal tank for my beardie when she’s older. For now she is in a 40 gal but is just 4 months old. She’s growing like a weed and has a 12% arcadia tube and 75w basking spot.
I got a seconhand 100gal melamine tank and I’m fixing it for her. However, the basking spot has a ballast system for a solar raptor HID (european brand, quite good from what’ve heard and quite expensive at that)
I was planning to mount my beardies arcadia tube inside. Should I use the HID instead? Can I use both or that will be too much uvb? I like that the basking spot already has a system in place. I would have to drill holes for the tube but that’s no problem.
Thanks! Both will be mounted inside the tank, no mesh. The tube would be at 4-5 inches from the beardie. The HID, the same distance, maybe more like 3-4 inchew but it’s a spot light so the area under it is smaller that the tube.
Anyone has a similar system? Opinions? Thanks a lot!
