I got this dimming lamp (it dims and fades and goes bright with this little switch that you control) with a bulb that i kinda over looked. I noticed that it gives no uvb or uva.

Reccomend a bulb please. Up to 200 watts maximum is the lamp.

This light provides heat, UVA, AND UVB rays. Everything you need in one bulb.

I don't think you are supposed to use these bulbs with anything smaller than 50 gallons, and I believe you said you have a 10 gallon? That might dangerously overheat the water.

You also cannot use a dimmer with the UVB lights. Make sure to keep it on full power or else get a regular lamp fixture.
