i have the 5.0 uvb light now, it's a bit short for my 60" tank. it takes care of my turtles needs but doesn't light the tank the way i'd like. i'm using a 60 watt bulb for heat and at 8" it's a nice 88 degrees. i don't want to have 3 lights going along with my heater, filter and powerhead so is there a uvb that's 3' or 4' long? my tanks acrylic with the goofy top so a mvb is out until i get my atba together. any help or links would be appreciated.

I'm not sure I completely understand the question. Are you looking for tube lighting options?

Yup, Exo-Terra makes a UVB 5.0 fluorescent tube in 36" or 48" lengths:

thank you! i have been looking and couldn't find them. i did look at that site just must have missed them. his shell is getting back into shape and he's shedding his retained scutes so i'm not going to change anything for a few weeks.
