Petco said I can also do hot water with a splash of peroxide. That on top of the zoo med should be good, right.?

never heard of the peroxide method and I would not take their advice ---

 

[acidburn01]

Not recommended----- please order it from Pangea or look at Pet Smart if you have one or order it from Pet Smart --- they are the best on the market -- cant stress this enough -- The Wipe Out will work for cleaner but I always recommend the F 10 --- its a concentrate and will kill about everything - there is no smell -- I use it a lot to disinfect my tanks after the dragons poop --

The petsmart here doesn't have any in stock or to be ordered online in my area, that's why I was looking at those others at Amazon.

Why arent they recommended, if they're also 10.0 t8 uvb.?

Quality of the bulb--- you dont want something that is not very good - it will only hurt the dragon --- order it from Pangea they are really good- I get all my UVB bulbs from them --- shipping is not very expensive -

How big is the tank?

New one is 90 gallon, I believe. The light fixture we have is 18 inch, at least the bulb is.

But we still have our domes for our current tank.

Dome UVB's are no good ---- is your tank the new one that is 15" high?

The new tank is 16" tall. The fixture mounts inside the new tank at 14 inches, though.

The domes are what we have on the 40 gallon that's 16" as well. It's got that 80 watt powersun uv and the 100 watt thrive basking.

If you use hot water, it needs to at or near boiling, that kindda makes it hard to use. At that temp it could crack the gkass also. I don't think peroxide does much. The reason i say boiling is some stuff like Coccidia takes temps that high to kill it, and it has to stay at that temp for 10 to 15 minutes. The wipe out is ammonia based, I'm not sure what the f10 is based in. Either way let even that stay for 10 minutes or so, then rinse it out.

Yes so the T 8 would be good for that low of a tank -- you want it unobstructed NO screen and approx 6-8 inches directly above the basking decor piece --- just remember to change the T 8 out in approx 5 months
