Has anyone ever seen a 25 watt UVB? My baby tort's tank is 10 inches high and is in a bookshelf with about 8 inches of space above the tank. and I don't want to upgrade until next year when he gets bigger. I have a 25 watt basking and it keeps the basking area at 90-95 degrees. I'd love to get a powersun but have only found them at 50 watt. For now, i take him outside everyother day for about 30 mins.
Any ideas?

If you get a stand, or hand the light from a chain, you can raise it up so its not so intense or hot inside the small tank.

This is the problem with MVB. Raise it high enough so the heat is right, and you can cancel out the UVB.

I use both a 160 watt powersun MVB and a 24" reptisun UVB Tube ( not spiral!). That way my whole enclosure is fit.
