UVB for 75 Gallon tank

[ccrogers]

Hi,
I had to separate my two female beardies two weeks ago. One was getting a little hormonal, not eating and digging a lot and was quite a bit smaller than the other one. I moved the larger beardie to a new tank. She isn't getting used to her tank very easily.

I had a 24" UV T5 HO 5.0 on the new tank so I switched it to a 34" T5 5.0 HO. The other tank that she's used to had a T8 10.0 34" bulb. The tank is 75 gallon with doors on the front. Is the 34" T5 5.0 HO ok for her tank?

Thank you!

The length is good but you may want to use a 10.0 or 12% bulb. The output of the 5.0 is best at only about 6-8'' below the bulb. The higher output bulbs are best at around 12-14'' or so.

Thanks so a 10.0 T5 HO? That's what this hood holds. Do you think the other one has enough? 34" T8 10.0?
