Hi,

I've been getting things ready to set up my new panther viv but pet zoo have sent me a 10.0 UV tube instead of a 5.0.

The tube with be inside the viv, not on top of it.

Will this be okay or will the 10 be too much?

Thanks

I would have thought it would be fine...I have all 10% for the chams...and although they are all on top of mesh, there is still a fair bit of UV penetration. I would do it myself, but others might have better experience

i have used 10 with no adverse effects, am using 5.0 now though as it seems to be the reccomended type.

I use 10 but like Joe all my UV's are on top of mesh

i use 10.0 and my lighting is currently inside the viv. may or may not move it outside but they can always hide in the shade of leaves etc.

I use a 10.0 setup inside the viv, this will be moved outside once new viv arrives!

Cheers for the help people.

Think I'll use the 10.0 for now then switch back to the 5.0 in the winter.
