What do you personally recommend ? I’m not sure quite what I’d use to “hang” it in the tank so to speak. Mesh on top is fine like a screw door. I’ll include a pic to help out ) one secondKarrieRee":1oakbg46 said:Ok so it's going in the tank? Did we determine screen ? Fine or wide hole?

We took the light out and kinda just set it on top to look at placement. I am confused on where our basking light will go.KarrieRee":9p2an2lj said:Ok so it's going in the tank? Did we determine screen ? Fine or wide hole?
so since it is a T5 It’s okay to put inside the tank, rather than having a T8?KarrieRee":24douef4 said:Ok so it's going to need to go into the tank--- you can hang in the front of tank or back it doesn't matter but what does is your going to need a piece of basking decor directly underneath approx 12-15 inches-- get your fixture hung first then worry about the basking decor-- did I post things for you to use to hang w/?

Okay, husband is freakin out because he’s concerned with how the heat light will be crooked on the tank and make us un able to get inside without moving the heat lamp off of the tank since it’s a slide-open topKarrieRee":yx7euwq3 said:No your fine stop stressing- the back of tank is fine-- as long as he can get away from the rays of the UVB he will be fine-- your uvb and basking light don't need to be right next to each other he will go to the light he needs mine do
