Hi everyone! I am debating getting a MVB for my beardie, Alejandro. He has been battling a fungal skin infection that is mostly cleared up, and the vet said that more UVB light may help. He is a "normal" pattern with some yellow, and I've also heard that the MVB's help bring out their colors a little more. Some websites say that the MVB's have higher output than any coil or tube lamp. It would be nice to just have one lighting fixture for UVA and UVB, too. I am a little hesitant to switch over, however due to the recalls of several different MVB brands. It sounds like PowerSun is the best, but I would like to know if anyone on here is using one and if they have had good luck with it. Do you need a special dome for a MVB? or will the regular domes for coil lights work? Also, I was worried about the minimum basking distance, since MVBs are suppose to be about 20 inches away form the animal. I don't want to leave his terrarium uncovered, but would be worried about the UVB not getting through the screen. Putting the MVB in the cage would put it way too close. If anyone is using a MVB I would be very interested in hearing about your set up! Thanks!
