Which MVB other than MegaRay?

[KINGSAME]

I have my 3rd enclosure ready to go but the Megarays are on back order. I am going to call ReptilUV on Monday to see how long the wait is. If I have to go another route which one should I get? How is the T-Rex bulb? The BD that is going in the viv is already under a Reptisun 10.0 but she is moving to a much larger enclosure. Should I just keep her where she is until the Megaray is available? What do you guys think?

The TRex Active heat is the next best IMO but if it were me I would still wait for the megaray.Is there any way you can temporarily use the reptisun 10.0 in the new viv until the Megaray comes in?

Unfortunately I cannot use reptisun 10.0 in the new viv. I would have to find a way to mount it. Don't really want to mount something temporarily. The new Viv has front sliding doors with 2 Incandescent fixtures. Nothing to hold a florescent bulb or fixture. Hopefully when I call on Mon. the wait will not be to long. Maybe I will just keep her where she is until the Megaray is available. I'm a little pressed for time on this one.

If you can't wait on the MegaRay, get the T-Rex. When are you shipping out? After the holidays, I hope..

Yes, after the Holidays. I just want to have the BD's and the wife all setup before I go. I have the other 2 under Megaray's and just want to do what is best for this one also. If not the Megaray than the next best thing.

I spoke to Bob at ReptileUV today and the 100w MVB's are back ordered until end of Jan. That Stinks! He advised me to purchase the T-REX UV as it is the same bulb. The difference being after 3-6 months the the T-REX UV with drop a little in UV output as compared to the MegaRay.
