It will work for 6 months its not going to be as strong as the Reptisun - put it inside the tank 8-10 inches from basking spot w/ NO cover on the bulb --- in 6 months keep the fixture and replace the bulb w/ the Reptisun 10.0 ------------ you could of ordered it on line from here www.pangeareptiles.com -- go look at that website

Thanks Karrie! Just realised the 50 prob means 5.0 but doesn't say so. Pet store said they'll have more reptisun next week, might wait until I can get him a 10.0. His is inside the tank, no cover with smooth foil reflector ( As per your instructions a couple months ago?). Guess another week won't hurt.

No it wont you can use the fixture you got for the Reptisun bulb -- the bulb will work too its just not as strong --- but you now have a fixture w/ a reflector -- I have the same fixture in the basement that I used for a 20 gallon tank - its just that I had the Reptisun bulb in there - I used it last Sept when I had Kida that was totally malnourished when I got her --- she died in a few weeks --

Awww so sorry to hear that. ?
Already had the fixture but wanted to replace the bulb. If I'm able, I'll wait till they get some more reptisun but if not I'll go ahead and use this for a few months until I'm on my feet and can get him a better one. As long as it will suffice, we're good.

I just checked out the link Karrie gave me and I can get the Arcadia WITH shipping for $8 less than what I just paid for this one. SMH I'm taking it back! Geez!

Correct me if I'm wrong here but, I think the Arcadia 12% is a T5 and you have a T8 fixture. I know it gets confusing at times and very frustrating but such is the life of a dragon slave!!!???
