I do not have an extra $250 for a nice uv meter, does anyone have a good height I should set my 36” T5 5.0 above my Russian tort? Thank you for any help.

If the bulb is in a fixture made by the same manufacturer, then their height charts are a rough guide. I wouldn't rely on the charts or generic advice if mixing bulbs with fixtures from other manufacturers.

And as always watch for any changes in behavior with the animal.

What reading are you looking for?
I have that Zoomed light and I have a UVB meter.
Is it through a screen or not?
I can check for you.
I’m not sure what exactly a Russian is supposed to be at, but it’s not through a screen.
