Hello,
Had a question for you all regarding my setup for my Russian tortoise Pumpkin. Currently using a 100w Powersun, which gives UVA/UVB and heat. Finding that the location in my home is staying room temperature wise between 78-90 degrees so under the lamp its getting warmer than that. Have adjusted by slowly moving the times the light is on to the night to not over heat, and also moved bulb further up. But think of switching to a different setup:
Currently use a 29 gallon tank, eventually plan to build a table as I keep hearing tanks are bad.
but thinking of getting a 30 inch tube light that would emit my uva and uvb. then using just a heat bulb or CHE for my heat source and putting the tube light on for about 12 hour a day and the CHE/heat light on a thermostat with a timer for 12-16 hours a day.
Any tips comments or thoughts of if this will work better are appreciated.
