Habitat - Indoor :: What wattage of MVB?

[bently11]

I was wondering what wattage of MVB I should get. It will be for a 90 gallon tank. Also, does it have to be 18 inches away?

100 watt self ballasted bulb from reptileuv.com works well. I have mine at 22" above the basking spot. The MINIMUM is 12" away for mega-ray bulbs. I'd recommend somewhere between 18" and 24" since RESs arn't desert animals.

go with the mega ray bulb (the one at reptileuv.com) its one of the better ones and is at a good price. just make sure it is farther than 12 inches from the basking area. you may have to mess around with the distance to get the temperature right so there really isnt a set distance as long as its above 12 inches and not like 2 feet away.
