Finally I'm starting to build my enclosure that I've been on about building for what feels like forever now, but I need one final piece of advice from everyone.
I've always used megaray bulbs to provide the UV for my cham, but now due to the height of my proposed cage, I cant safely suspend one far enough above the top of the enclosure to reach the safe levels of UV for him (well, without the bulb being housed in my roof somehow...)! So, my question is, what UV tubes should I use to give the correct UV levels in my enclosure? The actual size should be 0.8m x 1.2m x 1.8m (d x w x h) so I was thinking 2 Reptisun 10.0 48" across the top with reflectors. Does that sound adequate or overkill? I'll hopefully be able to get my hands on a UVB meter to check, but that'll be after I've bought the tubes so I don't want to order the wrong ones!
Thanks all
