$10 UVA (full spectrum) bulbs from the pet store dont put out any UVB which is what you need. You need a uv tube light like a reptisun 5.0 or 10.0 for that in ADDITION to one for heat. Any old bulb from Home Depot will do for heat.

As for the red light at night. I dont think you need it at all if the water is heated properly.
