[QUOTE="MrSpectrum, post: 1900011, member: 105703"] First-time Poster here. [b]Background:[/b] Building an enclosure (60"W x 24"D x ~25"H) from 3/4" (18mm) Baltic Birch. I spent quite a few hours trying to find details about the "legendary" (ephemeral?) [b]CrossFire Enclosure[/b], but alas, every link I chased--here and on google--was expired, so I designed one from scratch after reviewing a dozen or so videos & commercial designs. I didn't care much for having lighting fixtures on top of the enclosure, so I designed it with an 8" compartment above the 25" main enclosure to house the electrical/lighting/wiring. UV-B will be provided by a recessed 46/48" T5 fluorescent fixture. Basking will be provided via a recessed eyeball (aimable) fixture. [b]Now for the lighting questions...[/b] I've looked in this thread and elsewhere, but like the Crossfire Enclosure, many/most links are expired, so I'm guessing the information may be out of date as well(?) I'm tentatively considering a Reptisun fixture for the 48" UV-B, but am looking for/willing to consider better alternatives. I looked up the Sunblaster fixture referred to in previous recent posts, but currently know of no others that come with an integral reflector (a "must" from my reading). What concerns me about these 2 fixtures is some of the negative feedback on Amazon. Does anyone here have any opinions on these 2 fixtures (relative to each other) or other fixtures I should be considering? My second question is indirectly related to lighting--ventilation. Ventilation vents come in several sizes; is there some standard size (or equation) people are using in order to keep their enclosures from overheating due to (primarily) basking lights? Thanks.
