Your temp gradient is pretty good and I like that you put them side by side to create a wider basking area. They have fairly narrow/concentrated beams of UVB but they are very high quality lights. Is your ReptiSun a T8 or a T5? I ask because the models have different outputs and optimal distances. The 100w MegaRay is good at about 10-12'' while the 160w is good out around 17-20''. Those distances are slightly less going through a screen but only by about 30% or so. A T8 ReptiSun 10 has an optimal distance of about 6-8'' without a screen and isn't very effective beyond 6'' through a screen while a T5 has an optimal distance of about 12-14'' without a screen and about 10-12'' through a screen. If that basking log is close to those distances then I'd leave everything as-is. I like your setup quite a bit.

I'll be back here in a month or two over-analyzing something new. Haha! We'll see how they continue to grow.
