Quick question about lighting, and I apologize if it's been covered a million times...I have searched and I'm still confused.
The setup I'm putting together will be a 40 gallon breeder in a room that will have between 65-70 degree ambient temperature (at least through the upcoming winter, possibly a little higher in the summer) and I was wondering if a 100w MegaRay SB would be sufficient for UVB and for heat?
I'm thinking I might want a smaller (12" or 18") ReptiSun 10 for the opposite side of the viv because the light from the MegaRay might not reach all the way across the 48" length. I'm hoping heat won't even be an issue, from what I'm reading I can adjust the height of the MegaRay to get a good basking temp on one side of the viv.
I guess it's just the "cooler" side I'm worried about, heat wise and light wise.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks for your help!!!
