Mega Ray MVB?

[KINGSAME]

My setup is 36x18x16 and I have purchased a Mega Ray MVB bulb. After reading around I have found some say that is not enough height. I spoke with Bob from Reptileuv who makes the bulb and he said min distance in 12' to 10'. Will it be ok at this distance? What do you think?

I think the issue may not be the minimum distance from the light source the the amount of heat MVBs produce in a short enclosure. You definitely clear the minimum distance but i would keep an eye out on the temps with a shorter tank.

If that is an issue I could just get a stand and raise the light right?

Yes, you can. I was talking to Bob (the one who makes the megaray) and he told me about a stand. I found one at Petmountain.com for about $20. They have a 10% off sale right now which drops the price to about $18. It goes up to $36 inches tall which I just figured out will work with my 40 breeder tank.

I have my MegaRay, but my shipment from petmountain won't be here til tomorrow. I am so stoked. I have a deep dome fixture and a stand in my order too! It all sounded like the best way to set it up to me. Plus it will be nice to not have to move everything to open the enclosure!
Come on UPS!!!
