My wife and I recently bought our beardie "Bud". We've been using a Powersun mercury vapor bulb for heat and UV. It works well, but Bud is in a 75 gallon tank, and the single bulb doesn't get very good coverage. We got a fixture , but one of the lights doesn't work, and I'm not so sure that the included lights are what I need. Could anyone tell my what kind of UV light I need as a replacement based on the pictures? If any other info is needed just let me know.

Sounds like you have the UVB & heat covered with the power sun MVB.
For additional lighting all you need is a bright white light household bulb or
you can buy a really inexpensive 24" floresent fixture at Home depot or lowes.
What i like about the floresent bulb is they don't produce as much Heat as the
incadesent household bulbs.
Hope this helps

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!
