I'm wondering if you can buy bulbs that will fit regular T5HO units? or do you need to buy ballast units specifically designed for UVB? I just noticed the 36" reptisun is only 25w iirc, and I think my 36" T5 shades are closer to 50w.
Any recommendations for a cost effective way to add some supplemental UVB to an 8x8 room with 2x 1k HiD in there?
EDIT* Lol I see there is already a lot of discussion about this subject here, I'll read through more later, I just read a lot of it and it seems it's not as easy as plugging in a reptile lamp. Either way I'd be interested in a discussion on practical ways to add UV that works. Or if mods feel this is too much UV talk already feel free to delete haha.
