So you don't have your mesh over lights?

[MJ]

no need as the lights are not inside the viv (and neither should they be ).

That's what i meant. I don't know where to put it. but since it works for MJ, I shall put mine over the glass.

[MJ]

What are you working with tank wise? a converted fish tank?


I dont sit my lights right on the viv's (did for a little while but sorted it to the way I like it) they are raised about 25mm off the viv it self.

but they are above glass and not mesh.

Thought I'd add to this a bit. Paul...what kind of UVB penetration do you get through glass? For darts I know this is of less importance, but for some other species of 'herp' it could be a clincher on how you set up the viv.
