Ok, I found out that my flourecent uvb T-5 is not going to work...Maybe.
Many tank top is mostly 1/4 inch glass... Blocks 80% of uvb.
It has 6"/8"/10" from front to back.my pass/screen/glass.
I was initially going to put the uvb on rear over glass and a heater over the screen.
Then I found out the issue.
My next thing was going to be the uvb over the screen and a ceramic infrared heater over the glass.
But then I discovered it had wavelengths too long and the glass woulda absorb a lot of the heart and possibly crack.
My latest idea is a zoomed mini deep over the screen with a 5.0 uvb and a basking lamp 75w.
And then use the fixture for the tube bulb for a 6k-7k bulb for lighting and plant growth.
Ant other ideas? I was hoping to not use a dome style lighting fixture
