I use this last one. The sunblaster without the reflector.

I just received the light and the fixture you suggested but I am confused on how to mount it with the supplies I was given and there’s no instructions. I would appreciate the help from anyone.CooperDragon":bony5l5q said:The Sunblaster combo w/reflector is an excellent choice (this one https://www.amazon.com/Sunblaster-904296-NanoTech-Fixture-Reflector/dp/B00AKKUBDQ/ ) I use the sunblaze (or similar equivalent) with a reflector and it's excellent as well. That's what comes with the Arcadia combo from Light Your Reptiles http://www.lightyourreptiles.com/22-t-5-ho-fixture-high-output-with-arcadia-d3-12-ho-bulb/
These both provide excellent output and will last for many years. Well worth the investment.
I was told to put wire or string or even fishing line through the holes on clips and through the top of the screen on the enclosure but there’s nothing small enough and I don’t have any hooks that would work I don’t think.CooperDragon":1u8u0vo1 said:The clips go onto the ridge on the top of the fixture and hold it in place. Then you can attach wire or hooks to the clips and suspend the fixture over the enclosure or hang it from a stand or the tank lid etc. I've read varying reports about whether or not the fixture will sit flat on a screen top with the reflector mounted.
