[QUOTE="Fionasmom, post: 1909126, member: 106460"] Thank you for this post. New mommy here. I have been wrestling with lighting my 50 gallon long tank for now a month since bringing my 15 mo old baby girl home. When I got her she had a 75 watt mercury vapor bulb only. Her previous owner did not inform me of the bulbs age and within 1 week it blew. I have since replaced the bulb with a 80 watt mercury vapor on top of the mesh screen lid. Unfortunately she is now being treated for parasites(fecal test) her vet informed me not to ever feed her crickets and that her lighting was wrong. Old bulb did not provide for her needs correctly. He suggested I get rid of mercury vapor bulb( causes burns) and go with reptisun t5 10.0 ( over entire tank) which I have now got, along with the mercury vapor bulb(basking area). My question is. Is this too much uvb? Should I only do uva uvb over basking area and an incandescent light over rest of tank. Also I read somewhere that the tube light needs to be inside the tank to avoid uvb ray blockage via screen top. Is this correct? Thank you for your help. [/QUOTE]
