lighting

[yellowsnow]

hi all,,,new to this site and its very good.
we just want some advice regarding my lighting,,i have a 4 foot long 15 inches wide and 2 foot high tank.
we have a fluorescent reptile light 14 inches from the bottom of the tank,,,the light is 30 inches long with a shade.
we also have a 42 inch dayglo flourescent above the glass of the tank,,,just wondered if this was enough light for our young fella??
we do have a basking light which is 100w above a basking site which sits 11 inches from the light.
thankyou all

Glad to hear your going to change that. I'm not sure if you can use roof tiles because I think it's abit slippery but I went to b&q if your from the us then any home depo or garden center and ask for slate tiles the ones I have are a pain to cut I have broken my tile cutter tryin lol so at the moment I have 3 tiles in there with newspaper it's ok because when she poops you cam ether use a baby wip to clean it or just rip the paper out where she poops
