New bigger viv I need help with lighting

[Deemac6]

K so i'm building Thil a new 120gal crossfire ( roughly a crossfire anyway) and I'm now getting in to lighting. Right now in her 40 gal I have a tight watt basking bulb and a repitsun 24inch...to get a new 36 inch i'm looking at 90 bucks alone. My question is could I do something like a Mega ray or would I have to have the tube because the viv is so big. I was going to have the mega ray on one side and like another bulb on the other just to keep it lit and at the right temps on the other side. I'll post pictures of the viv when I get some. Any suggestions are welcome I wish to move her in asap.

try home depot or wal mart for the tube fixture. i got mine there for $8, and try petmountain.com for the reptisun 10.0 uvb's are only $20 plus $7 for shipping. way cheaper then you will find in any store. all the stores ive been to that carry reptisun the bulb ended up being $50 so i ordered mine from there. hope this helps a little and good luck with your tank!

I think I tried petmountain and either they didn't ship to Canada or it cost me a ton of money. Thank you though I will look again

That Pet Place / That Fish Place sells Reptisun 10.0 bulbs for $27.99. If your getting the 48" bulb from petmountain it comes to a total of $28.46. And 36" totals out to exactly $28 due to "fragile: Special handling" additional charge.

I searched it up on that pet place site and it wouldn't accept my postal code so I looked up how much it would roughly cost on fedex's site and i'm looking at roughly 100 dollars for a rate to get it here. I really really do not want to spend that much money on a bulb, sorry. Thank you though.
