i've been on the site for awhile now but once my beardie grew i kinda stopped posting as i didn't need much help him..
after lurking and trying to keep up with new brand products i have ran into a lighting issue so i'm back for help..
i'm looking to replace my MegaRay MVB with a different set up possibly.. i figured for the price of the bulb, especially shipping cost to Canada, waiting on shipping and the fact i can't get them to last longer than 6 months it's probably time to try something different.. my most recent bulb started having issues with turning on and i haven't had it more than 6 months yet.. thought my ballast was the issue as its getting old so i bought a new one but it still only turns on randomly or not at all.. i've left it powered on and 4hrs later it turns on than some days it just doesn't turn on..
my only problem is i have a 110gal tank so lighting/heating that much tank is difficult and i always figured the all in one MVB was the best solution.. in winter the MVB runs at 75-80F and summer it goes 90 to over 100F.. i've got the bulb hanging above the tank with a plant hook secured to the wall.. i would like to set up something that would give me a more consistent and correct heat temp and could be purchased locally or at petsmart canada as i don't really wanna order online anymore.. i could be up for amazon.ca but they really don't have much..
anyone with a 110gal tank that could suggest an ideal lighting set up??
