Will this fixture alone provide adequate UVB and UVA for a red-eared slider turtle in a 75 gallon tank? The description states it is full-spectrum.

This inline UV filter will this work for a 120 gallon fresh water tank with an Eheim 2075 canister filter. I have been using this in a 40 gallon tank for about a year and it performs flawlessly. Since it is inline (inserts into the middle of the return line from the filter to the aquarium) it will work with ANY canister filter. Plumbing will be the challenge, but the fittings provided should allow fitting to almost anything. If the plumbing perplexes you, try Youtube, or talk to an experienced person in a store or in a community of aquarists. I let this UV light run 24X7 with no issues. It is a great product for keeping water clear and for killing organisms which like to kill fish.

Its a reptile light and emits ultraviolet radiation intended for reptiles only!

It should provide adequate coverage. PRoviding you come up with a good mounting solution for the light. You may need to arrange your coral and such in the center of the tank.

The lamp is not "full spectrum" as that would include the UV light, which with this unit is 99.3% filtered. The color temperature, lux level reaching the eye and the positioning of the lamp above the view plane are the more critical components based on expert guidelines. Before considering any bright light therapy product, consult with your physicain to ensure it is appropriate for your individual needs.

I recently purchased this for my beardie and am currently using the 75w daylight basking spot bulb by exo terra. I've had no issues. It works great. You can use up to a 150w bulb in them.

Yes the biocube includes the actinic blue and daylight bulbs, i forget the exact specs but they are ready to grow coral :)However it has 2 sockets for led moonlight or accent strips, and the leds are not included.On a side note as a personal opinion: After running this tank for a little over a year i will never purchase another all-in-one marine aquarium again. The back filtration compartment turns into a detritus trap over time, and cleaning the maybe 3 in. wide chamber is quite the challenge.

greetings, this lamp for marine aquariums REEF .. not for freshwater aquarium. Check and read carefully before making an unnecessary expense. If you want to buy is your decision: I do not know what the behavior of plants inside the aquarium with the lighting. I recommend and look ORBIT LED lamps .. Greetings. NelsonC

I have a 60 inch 110 gallona q and have one on mine. It gives off bright light....my tank does not have live plants... So may want to be sure this is the right light for live plants.

Hello, I'm not sure what species you're keeping, but I'm assuming you'll need at least one incandescent bulb for heat. CFs don't put out nearly as much heat as incandescent bulbs do. But, you do need a CF bulb for proper UVB radiation. Additionally, if I am not mistaken, the fixtures you are discussing are listed at 25w, which won't be enough for your incandescent heat bulb (for example, I use a 40w incandescent in one of my tanks and a 60w in another.) The best bet is to research what your species's needs are and carefully design and test your habitat. Good luck.

I have a 40 breeder tank for my beared dragon. the spot lamp bulb for fouced heat was a 100 watt an i have try 75 watt bulbs. The heat zone is to high an the basking area is still to low. my lizard would be at temps of 83 degrees. impatction could happen. You could try buying a lamp stan to ajust the bulb over 12 inches above the steel mesh. maybe that might work. how ever theses bulbs will make a slightly little drop in temps on the cool side. this is a good thing by the way an you could get the more correct temp best suited for the reptile. this happens cause the heat is channel or beam wile other UVA bulbs scatter heat an wich up's the tanks cool end by some degrees..

It would be good if you put it on I ne side and on the other use a heat lamp with UVA rays so it cover the whole tank.

I have this fixture for my beardie, and I use a compact fluorescent UVB bulb by Zoo Med, and it fits perfectly! Here's the link for the bulb: Reptisun 10.0 Uvb Mini Compact Fluorescent

They have this same lamp fixture that comes with the UVB and basking light bulbs, I think it's $48 and I would recommend it for bearded dragons, "zoomed desert uvb and heat lighting kit" they sell it here on Amazon

The one I bought was not UV, although Tetra does have the ability to use one with it. I'm not really an authority, but if you are interested, you can go to their website to see the different models and what they include.

This unit is for 110/120 volt AC and the lamp is included. I have had mine running for the better part of a year and it is still doing a good job. Eventually the UV lamp will become less efficient and you will need to replace it (lamp only - not the whole unit). They say about once per year. It is designed for ponds up to 6,000 gallons so would be way oversized for most aquariums.

No, shouldn't be, and it sure cut back the algae. We've had ours almost a year now, so it's about time to change the bulb. I guess the UV part stops in about 11 months. The light may still be on, but it won't kill any algae.
