I have read the sticky at the top of this forum thread but I would like more personal opinions on why people mount their UVBs like they do.
Is it better to mount them using the strip fixture INSIDE the tank, or can it be ontop with a hood and be just fine?
I think I might switch from my zilla hood to a 24'' strip with one of those new Reptisun 10.0 UVB HOs.
Is there even any difference from outside mounting to inside? I visually can not see the difference, the tank looks just as bright when it is on top and when it is inside, I'm using a 10.0 reptisun uvb. Will UVB rays penetrate the mesh wire of a Zill Critter Cage?
Opinions and information are more than welcome.
