Made a mounting bracket today on our router table... wasn't big enough, but I still made it work! Looks awesome, will need to add another screw towards the top though.

Also, painted my back ground black. And got some dark tile for substrate for now.

Also got a dimmable ceramic light fixture for the MVB.

Another update.

I have both the Reptisun 10.0 AND the Powersun MVB going as my only light currently... but my temps slowly have been creeping up by .1-3 degrees each time.. and it looks like it settled around 90ish... IDK, I am using that Zilla Thermometer/Hydrometer digital thingy to measure these temps... putting my hand under the MVB bulb I could tell it was good and hot... but maybe not 100 degree hot.

This isn't hot enough, right? I believe it isn't. So what bulb do I need in conjunction with these two?

A clear 40w bulb? Lower wattage? Higher wattage?

Also, there is no screen top on my tank.

Pictures!
How does it look thus far? Before I got home today, this tank was empty! lol Good 5-6 hours later it is pretty much ready! Most fo that time was me trying to find the right tile and then waiting for it to be cut!

That hang on back mount I made at my work on our router.

Very cute little guy!! And I love your set up but make sure your temps are getting into the hundreds. Iv heard that you can use a flood light as well to generate more heat if its not getting hot enough or an ceramic heat emitter if you don't need the extra light just the heat.

More pictures of him on his favorite basking spot.

Also have a very long video of me talking about him and my fish tanks...
