UVB light fixture

[ChristinaK37]

I get lots people tell me 36inch T5 Ho uvb fixture is too much for a 40 gl breeder tank
They said I need a 24inch with 22inch bulb. I want to make sure I have right UVB for my 3 dragons even my Russian tortoise

not sure about the tortoise, but for a 40 gallon, you want the 24". that will also work later when you move to a 4'x2'x2'

Yeah I have a 40 gallon and the shorter uvb will suffice

The 22'' T5 is almost always what you will want, works for 40g breeders and for 4x2x2's.

I wouldn't go with the 34" bulb unless your tank is 5'+

I would also like to add, be sure to give them a hide or shaded area where they can get out if they uvb alll together if they want to.
