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!
