Morning all,
I have 2 beardies and I have been struggling with certain type light fixtures... I have my reptiglow 10.0 bulbs both in 24" aquarium fixtures. I am also a saltwater addict, therefore I have a few old light fixtures from my glory days in the saltwater hobby. I am wondering if there would be any kind of detrimental effects from me using a t5 light fixture that I used to use on one of my tanks (ATI t5 x6 bulb fixture) Obviously I would have to change the bulbs out but would this light be too much? I have a set of hanging bars for the light that I hung it like 14" above the water (rim of tank).
Could I use some kind of white bulb for basking and then reptiglow/retptisun for uvb? Opinions?
Thank you in advance.
Here is the fixture in question. https://www.marinedepot.com/ATI_48_Inch_6x54W_SunPower_T5HO_High_Output_Fixture_T5_Fluorescent_Light_Fixtures_for_Aquariums-ATI-UZ3011-FILTFIT5-vi.html?source=bingshopping&utm_source=bingshopping&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=bingshopping&utm_content=UZ3011&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=bingshopping(BSC)&utm_term=1100310865874&utm_content=adgrp1
