Hey all,
So I have a Reptisun 10.0 high output bulb for UVB, as recommended. I got one of those Zoo-med reflector hoods specifically for Reptisuns, and since acquiring that, it's been sitting over the mesh on my tank.
Now, I know that the tank mesh filters out some of the UVB, so I was researching the best ways to mount it INSIDE the tank when I came across this little bit of info: that the reflector hoods can elevate UVB to "dangerous levels".
Is this true? If it is, am I all right just leaving it over the mesh, so that a decent amount gets to my beardie without it being too much?
So much technical stuff. X_X
