So, they get calcium w/d3 once per week and without D3 twice per week. I would say, start off with calcium with D3 and if you see any problems with urates, cut it back a little

Also, just to point out- the t8 bulb needs changed every 6 months (I have spoken to Francis of uvguide.co.uk about this). The t5 bulb will last around 8-12 months
