Oh NO!
I just checked out your link, and it says it comes with a 21-watt, 34" long tube.
I thought, huh? T8 only come in 36" tubes and they are 25 watts.
So I dug about in Home Depot website and looked for replacement tubes for that unit....
Here they are

They are ordinary, non-high-output, T5 tubes....
I'm afraid this fixture is no good for your UVB.
I'll see if I can find one that WILL work for a 3ft long Reptisun 10, but can you get a "return" on it?
If not, then you've just bought a really nice "Normal Output" T5 ballast. It won't take an Arcadia HO T5 D3+ UVB tube but it WILL take "normal output" T5 daylight tubes, some of these will add very good visible light to your big tank, especially down your cool end, so don't despair..
