Hey guys I was running low on calcium and multivitamin for my beardie. So my friend kindly went and got me some and brings back this calcium and multivitamin balancer. Is it ok to use or should I stick with the separate calcium and multivitamin if it's OK to use how many times a week should I use ? Thanks
I would get some REPTICALCIUM ( not the D3 fortified version if you are using a T5HO 12% or 14% tube in a reflector hood, will synthesis enough D3 in the skin when basking and D3 can accumulate in fatty tissues to the extent that it causes D3 toxicity). Make sure the calcium powder is extra fine (and not a byproduct from the oyster farming industry (ground oyster shells) , Repticalcium is a colloidal powder.
My little beardie is only 8-12 weeks old ? but seems healthy and growing as she's shedding right now and eats plenty I am using a t8 Arcadia 12% uvb stripe and a exo Terra basking spot bulb and temps are 80 cold side and 100-105f basking area
Personally, I would use reptivite. It is relatively better and more well known. I've had good success with it and it has worked very well with me. I'm not that sure about the one you took a pic of though. But definitely try reptivite.

How far is it from the T8 12%UVB to the basking spot ?
See this : viewtopic.php?f=34&t=235611 , '
assuming
no obstructions (not ontop a mesh lid)
and there is a focusing reflector behind the tube
then a T8 12%UVB needs to be NO MORE THAN 6" from the basking spot to give adequate UVA & UVB.
