Posted by: Carlton at Wed Nov 30 11:32:30 2005 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Carlton ] I know a lot of you like using big box store shop fixtures for your UV lights, but I have never had much luck with them. Some of the cheaper fixtures don't have heavy enough ballasts for the Reptisuns and they just don't last very long. I finally started using aquarium hood fixtures and found they are pretty bomb proof. They also come in many lengths and you have options for 1 or 2 bulbs. Yes they are more expensive, but you'll probably have the thing forever. Also, the sides of the fixture extend down past the bulbs a bit farther so you can rest it right in the cage frame. Many have reflectors too. Check with aquarium supplies for a 24" fixture. I usually use a double tube, and put one "new" Reptisun and one used one, mark the dates on the fixture, and cycle them. | ||
