Need a quick answer for simple lighting question?

Would it be okay to mount a t8 10.0 24” bulb to the inside of my enclosure? I’ve heard people say to do this and not to do this. Something about reverse mbd? My tank is 12” tall

That would work fine, t8's always have to be mounted inside the tank since they're a less stronger bulb and cant get past the mesh very well.

Thank you !

I agree. Use a fixture with a reflector (or add one) if you can. The T8 should sit about 6-8'' above the basking area for best results.
