I keep getting conflicting information for this. I have a 20L that I wanna put a baby beardie into until it's bigger. But the UVB part confuses me because I'm reading and hearing different things.
I hear to get a 10.0 as that's what a beardie needs, but I also hear that it's too intense for a 20L and to get the 5.0 instead. If I get a 10.0 T5, can I prop the hood up on some bricks or something on top of the mesh to add more height?
I also read suggestions to get something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HJ75PW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
... But to mount INSIDE of the tank? Won't this fixture make the bulb too low (as the 20L is only 12" high) or am I overestimating the size of this thing? Do I mount it on the side glass vertically, or underneath the metal lid horizontally with like velcro or something? Help is appreciated, as this UVB confusion is the biggest thing holding me back from getting one of my dream reptiles!
