OK, back to light bulbs.I was useing Zilla Day White Light bulbs. One lasted 2 whole hrs, for 16 bucks for 2 I had to find something cheaper and better. I found some bulbs called Aero-Tech 20,000 hour bulbs
60 WATT. I will see how long they last but for $4.50 for 2 how can I go wrong?

You have a UVB bulb as well right?

[Kansasslider]

Yes an exo terra Repti glow 10.0. Basking area temp is 95.I'm also now the proud owner of an FX5. With media.My Cascade 700 just was not doing that great of a job and I will be upgrading from my 40 gal sometime so I figured why not just get it now.

Good thinking! FX5 is absolutely amazing, sounds like your are going to have one happy turtle!!

Careful with that ReptiGlow 10.0, it's pretty strong. Make sure it's a least a foot away from the basking area.

What do most people use 5.0?

Yes, most people use 5.0. If you are careful, a 10.0 can also be used.
