So, the UVB fixture (a T8) that I got with my Loki's setup (off Craigslist) is homemade and I am not sure about the quality of the light even though I am using the correct bulb, plus I'm afraid it's going to poop out any minute since you have to wiggle wires to make it work. Probably not too safe, either. :shock: I would like to get a new fixture (but I can't spend a ton of money on it). I have a 40gal breeder tank with a screen top that slides off. I have the screen top permanently off so that the UVB isn't cut by the screen, and I really like having it off because of the easy access. (Right now I have the homemade fixture propped up on the edge of the tank against the wall, held in place with gorilla tape. Classy. 8)) I was wondering if there is a decent T8 hood that can be mounted securely to the edge of the tank rather than just sitting on top of the screen. I don't want to mount a fixture inside the tank, I want it to shine down from above.
If you were in my situation, is there a particular hood or fixture that you would get? I'm asking for hand-holding and I apologize for that, but I don't trust my judgment and I don't want to compromise my beardie's health through ignorance. :?
