I'm getting a yearling microlepis sometime next week. I'm working on mysetup right now and just need to do some fine tuning. I've had some good advice from a reputable breeder, but I wanted to hear some other opinions.

What I already have: 75 gallon aquarium, Zoomed 100w Powersun MVB brand new, Ceramic clamp lamp, 3 gal sterlite box w/18in of black corrugated drainage tubing for hide, several large flat rocks with concrete supports for stacking, 36in flourescent fixture w/zoomed 10.0 bulb(probably not using it w/MVB)

What I'm getting: Tempgun, Mazuri Tortoise Diet, Repashy Uro Dust, MinerAll.

What I'm probably going to get and the questions:

1. Wild bird seed/millet for substrate.
Do I need to sift the other components of this mix out of the millet? I'm having trouble finding straight millet w/o sunflowers seeds and the like.

2. Ceramic heat emitter? I was going to used some regular halogen floods for extra heat as I have a ton of them, but have been considering these. It would be nice to be able to leave it on as a safety net at night. What wattage would be best for a 75gal tank? 60? 100? I won't use a UTH b/c it will be sitting on a wood slab.

What are people's opinions on the MVBs? I'm likely to use it and have been told it will be plenty for UVB. I shouldn't need any additional flourescents with it should I?

Tahnks for the help.
