Hello there! A lot of people have been showing me ideas about close chambers and what I should do. I was thinking about putting in some plexiglass or maybe even a waterproof shower curtain. I was wondering what you guys would recommend. If I was to do the plexiglass, should I cover everything except for where the lights would be or just half of it? I also have a question about a light. I've been trying to find a nice UVB light or "tube" to be exact. I've seen some people put them in their enclosure without a fixture over it, but I haven't been able to find one like that. Do you guys know where I could get one of those?
I tried to upload an image of one, but it would not let me.
Thanks:)

Is this too much of a tough question to awnser?
Sometimes it take a while for the "closed chamber" experts on here to see your message! I am sure you will soon have a response.

you're not being ignored, but the question is "tough" in that most of us are in the U.S. and I have not found those type fixtures available. I have looked and searched as I was intrigued about getting the heat of the ballast out of the enclosure. So far, I have not found a source. I was actually watching this thread to see what came up. I think I have seen them referred to more in Europe. Sure don't come up easily on an internet search!

You can simply remove the ballast from a regular fluorescent and extend the wiring to mount the ballast remotely if you are at all comfortable with simple wiring.

Yeah, I figured I shouldn't have asks about the fixture thing...thanks anyway!
