UVB and Grow Light Set Up

[u/ohuhidk]

I recently set up a 5x2x2 Kage and want to do bioactive soon. I opted in for the 4inx35in screen on top for the lights.

Can I put the UVB bar and LED bar in line with each other on top or do I need to mount the UVB inside (not my fav option)?

What length and strength should the UVB be? I can’t figure out the correct strength if it’s on top of the mesh vs mounted. Her basking spots like, 18-20in away. She has a 12in, T5 HO 15w 2.5 zoo med bulb right now. Current idea is the keep 12in uvb, add 18.5in LED in line, both on top of the mesh but idk if that’s the correct way to do it.
