[QUOTE="OutOfNowhere, post: 1742392, member: 87217"] Hey guys! First post on the forum. I've read a good amount of threads from this forum as well as other forums and helpful sites but I fear if I read anymore any longer my beardie will get ill. I got the lil guy just yesterday and I have just about everything set up. I just read from the OP that Zilla is a brand of UVB to stay away from and unfortunately that's what I got right now. I'll be returning it tomorrow. So my questions are: 1) should I use a 5.0 or 10.0 tube? Both are Reptisun, 18 inches, and (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) T8. I measured the distance from the mesh to the top of the basking platform to be 11 inches and with the height of the lil guy subtracted I would say the distance is 10.5 inches. I won't be mounting the fixture in the tank, it'll be sitting on top of the mesh. No reflector either.

From what I read this fixture MIGHT run a 10.0 just fine so I'm really wondering if it'll work for a 5.0 [url=http://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-18-in-Fluorescent-Light-Fixture-16466/100384834]http://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-18-in-Fluorescent-Light-Fixture-16466/100384834[/url] [/QUOTE]
