I just ordered a Reptisun T8 and a fixture that it will fit in. I plan on mounting it inside the viv, but I noticed the fixture has a cover over the bulb when placed in the fixture. Should I remove this? Or will it not be a problem since it is mounted inside the viv. I know the T8 doesn't have the best range to begin with, so I want to make sure I don't hinder it anymore than it already is.

Yes. The clear plastic cover needs to be removed as it will intercept all of the UVB from the bulb. I advise mounting a T8 between about 6-8'' above the basking area for best results.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
