I recently had to purchase a new UVB bulb and got the Flukers UVB bulb. I placed it in my Zoo Med Mini Dome Light fixture and the bulb sticks out a little on the bottom. I am wondering if I need to get a deeper dome fixture so the bulb does not stick out. I want my Russian tort to get the full benefit from the light.

I would get the deeper dome. I have a power son 100 W bulb and a deep dome and it seems to work well.

A deeper dome would provide the correct amount of space for you blub, so that the UVB is completey inside. Do you have it sitting on the top? It could push on the bulb...

I use the ZooMed Deep Dome fixture for my PowerSun UVB bulb.

I have it hanging above the enclosure.
