I have never seen the Arcadia mini. Must be Europe only. Arcadia is my favorite UVB bulb manufacturer, but has limited supply in the US. From your picture it is labeled as 2.4% - so it is really quite low in UVB output. Unfortunately hardly anyone like the answer that only a UV meter can give you the correct answer to your question, as placement effects the UVB the tortoise will be able to get. Most UVB bulbs now come with a chart on the packaging with suggested distances. Is there such a chart on the box or literature that came with the bulb?Thanks mark with the Arcadia mini s only being low out put of uv what distance should they be hung above my tort
LauraWhich of these florescent tubes would be best for me to use along with my mvb just to ensure my tortoise is getting enough uvb as my enclosure as got a Perspex top on markw84
Laura, Yes that is the uv meter I use. solarmeter 6.5Is this the right one
