So, I purchased him a 24" T5 HO hood, it has a 5.0 UVB lamp. And I finally received the parts I've been waiting on so I'll be installing the mister system in the enclosures thus weekend. I do have a question about lighting while I'm in here. T5 vs LED for UVB, is one superior to the other? I...

Awesome advice and graphics, theses are hugely helpful. The reason for feeding later in the day is more necessity than choice.
