Hey all. I'm putting the finishing touches on the multicage design that the very helpful Chris Anderson posted here. I used the black vinyl coated polyester petscreen that he suggested. I will be purchasing reptisuns for two 4' shoplights that wil be placed on top of the cage. I wanted some input from those of you with experience using this type of screening. Will the reptisun 5.0 put out enough uvb through the screen to be effective. I don't want to use the 10.0 if I don't need to. I will be purchasing a solarmeter in the future but I need a starting reference to avoid purchasing more uvb than is necessary. Thanks in advance for the input.

Howdy,
The screen's weave density definitely has an effect on how much UVB or any lightwave for that matter, reaches your critter. It is discussed here: http://www.uvguide.co.uk/fluorescenttubemeshtests.htm
