I am confused as to what lights the beardie are suppose to have.

I have a MVB 60 watts Bulb and a fluorescent tube by repti sun 10.0, and a heating lamp. Am I to use all these lights at the same time in the tank? Or the fluorescent tube and heatting lamp is enough? Or the tube with the MVB bulb?
 
you could use the 60 watt MVB and a regular house bulb if you need it for more lighting or whatever it takes to get the Temps right. you don't need to use the Reptisun and the MVB.

What brand is your MVB? The only one's I have seen in 60W are externally ballasted. (I may not have seen them all, though!!)

But, no there is no need to use a Mercury Vapor and a UVB tube at the same time. Just be sure you use additional lighting/heat sources to provide the proper basking temps on the hot side and a cool side (if needed, of course).

How far should the MVB should be away from the beardie? The brand for the MVB is Rep Pro.

According to a different thread on here, you were going to stop using that bulb. I would recommend it, too. It apparently doesn't have a good reputation for being a good bulb. I would continue with the ReptiSun 10 strip that you have, it is efficient enough. Use the light fixture that you used for the MVB and put a small flood light in it for heating.

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!
