At 12" height I would go with T5 6% to be on the safe side. Perhaps go with longer tube next size up, to get more UVB area coverage. You can also make a 2" hill under one half. This will create UVB levels from maximum UV index 2-3 on low end and 3-4 on high end.
Can I just get some quick clarification on what tube exactly you would recommend for my new table.
The sides are 8.5" high but substrate will fill up some of that.
A link would be very useful.
Thank you in advance.
Sorry for hijacking the thread. We moved the other members inquiry.
Can you post photos of the set up. It will just make it that much easier.
No worries.
I do not have the table yet. It has been ordered and is currently being made.
The pictures are of the one that I'm getting. It's going to be 40"x24" with 8.5" high sides.
Hope this helps.
