Hey gang,

I am looking to add some UVB to my last few weeks. I have a 5x5 , 6 site custom RDWC and a custom enclosed spydr with Co2. I have them nice and frosty and am looking to add one 4ft bulb right down the center line between the two rows. I would like to have it on a timer to turn on through out the day at 15 minute increments to stay on the safe side.

I have also just recently been told to look into a 10k finisher vs a uvb or perhaps both. Run uvb for two weeks and then replace the uvb for the 10k finisher. I am open though and thankful for your time.

Just looked into the same thing over the last couple weeks. The agromax pure UV t5 are what you want if you can find them where your at. Hortilux powerveg fs+uv or zoo med reptile 10.0 t5s are both about 1/4 the strength of uv emited. Everything else is garbage. Literally .. theres one more horrilux t5 lamp that's like the powerveg, forget the name, that's the same. That's all the options that give you any reasonable output for the money. LED isn't there yet, UV plasma is crazy expensive, nothing else does it.

Hey thanks for the advice. I posted this in another foruem that received alot of feedback and I went with the Hortilux fs+UV. IT complemented my light spectrum perfectly for what I was missingCapture.JPG
