... What kind of house is dino in again? (I can't recall). What sort of fixture is the bulb in? In our 40B (see picture below) the 100w SB gets 100-105*F at...
He is in a 40 gallon, just like that one. I put the bulb in the10 inch ceramic fixture that I had his heat light in, and I hung it up on the wall so it sits...

Holy Cow... Zoo Med was kind enough to send me a March-April issue. Frances - great job that you and your co-authors did on the article! Naturally, I enjoyed...
mercury vapour has a peak about 365nm thats not healthy for the eyes at all since the solartech meters are considerably de-emphasised at 360nm (the 6.4 more so...
Thanks for your compliments! The details about the various screens' percent transmissions is a summary from a very interesting piece of testing done by Rob...
If you're concerned about UVA transmission through eyewear, the models 5.0 or 5.7 Solarmeters peak at 365-370nm and will show any 'leakage' through lenses. ...
... at all< My recommendation would be NOT to stare into MV lamps or the sun for that mater. Have you seen the amount of UVA spectrum or our sun? Up to ...
