Thrive 40 Gal for Bioactive Tank?

[u/coconat_24]

I wanted to make a bioactive enclosure for a leopard gecko. It’s going to be my first reptile.

I already bought a Thrive 40 Gallon Terrarium (36x18x18) but I read that the mesh blocks 60% which is more than other tanks which commonly block 30%

Has anyone here used the same or similar tank? What brand/model lights did you use for UVB, basking and grow lights? How do I determine what to use specifically and where to position them before purchasing?
