Recommended lighting and heat for my setup.

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

A full screen enclosure is preferable to glass. A infrared ceramic heater is not needed in most cases if the room the cham is in doesnt drop much below ~60f. A veiled cham can handle temps into the 50s in the wild. As long as you have your basking light coming on in the morning you'll be fine. Invest in a lightyourreptiles fixture. Larry is the lighting guru and very helpful. I have 2 dual 24 inch tropic blaze fixtures that provide my uva and plant growth bulbs. I also have a 75 watt light bulb for a basking spot.
