I know many of you use Reptisun T5 HO 10.0
Does the 10.0 mean it is 10%?
I was looking into Arcadia D3+ and it looks like they recommend the 12% or the 14%.
On another site I read that the 14% is too much for many setups, especially smaller ones. We have a 36x18x18 currently.
We will be setting up on top of a screen, but it is not the usual mesh type screen - it's thicker and harder. So I'm thinking we probably actually do need the 14% but am a bit confused.
In the last 2 months I've read probably 20+ articles and many posts and such trying to understand all about lighting, and this was something I only came across yesterday.
Can anyone help clarify?
The 10 % is the UVB --- Arcadias are a good strong bulb - I do not recommend a 14 % for a tank that does not have a height of 24" I am using a 14% in my Zen but it is 24" high and I have that bulb strapped to the top of the mesh inside the tank -- I would get the Arcadia 12% and have your basking decor approx 8-10 inches from the UVB or a Reptisun T 5 and the same distance -- you can mount inside the tank if you wish and have it 12 - 15 inches from basking decor
