Hello everyone..... My question is about the Reptisun t5 10.0 high output uvb. I have a 36" about 12.5 inches above substrate. My russian tortoise seems to love his new bulb and fixture. How long should I have the uvb on each day? I dont have a uvi tester. I did some research and I believe the bulb new puts out between 3.3 to 3.9 uvi at 12 " but I am not sure. I saw some youtube videos and read many posts on forums. I plan on keeping the lights on for 4 hours and a LED to provide light when the uvb is not on. For a total of 12 daylight hours. 4 UVB 8 LED. Any help about what the uvi is at 12 inches would be great in addition to letting me know if 4 hours is enough or to much at 12".
His shell is about 4 inches or so. Very active and loves his zoo med grasslands and mazuri mixed with his escarole and other greens. BTW I have enjoyed reading this forum. I learned alot about my russian and all of your setups and tortoises.
