I'm curious. I'd like to know what some of you are using for lighting set-ups particularly how you are getting your uv-a/b. I know many people do d3 supplements I'm also curious as to how you dose for that and what lights you are using with that method. I think i may have read far too much information on uv spectrum and lighting and now I'm overwhelmed with the seemingly impossibility of getting my little ones the correct amount of uv-a/b. when i was younger i killed a turtle and an anole because of the same issues (Only then i had no idea that was what it was ) I'd rather not have a repeat.
I'm currently using the repti-glo 2.0 and 5.0 for one tank...no supplements.
the other tank i have a florescent tube from an aquarium (last resort, its slightly actinic so i know its closer to what i need but not exactly) and a basking lamp that claims to have some uv-a output (however is has no spectrum graph so who really knows).
I'd just like to see what everyone is using, any notes on it good or bad (particularly brand or type of buld) and just how you feel about your set-up and how its been working.
sorry...it looks like im asking alot now that i go back and re-read.....
thanks for any replies!
