Bearded Dragon Tank..Size?????

[GP212]

Thanks Linds.

I was just at the pet store tonite lookin at prices.Still trying to figure out my setup. I saw the Powersun bulbs that you mentioned. They are $90!! WOW! How long do they last?

I guess that I should clarify first that I want to do what ever it takes to have the "correct" enviroment for our "yet to be purchased" Bearded Dragon. But I am not rich.

Anyways, if these bulbs are the way to go then so be it.
So, not sure if I have mentioned, I have a 6 foot long tank. From what I have learned I was going to have a basking uvb light at each end with a 4 foot flourescent in the middle. Should I bother putting a uvb tube in it? I mean they are $50 bucks and if it isn't "needed". But again if it is...

ok, substrates. I have read all of the arguments against using sand. I think that I will be using this coconut husk stuff. Any thoughts? How deep? I guess that you need to replace it often. How often?
