hi all new to these forums,
I have a 8x4x just shy of 7ft. fully lined with frp, tub and drain, vents, 3 50w halogen lights for basking and 2 other fixtures for light/heating if needed. soil/sand mixture will be ready to put in the enclosure on thursday, then i will furnish accordingly with many hides. Basking spot reads 125-130degrees surface temperature. My main concern is to obtain my 130 degrees surface temps my basking box/hide box is 9inches or so from my lights. Will this be a problem or should i consider moving to 75 watts? I will post more pictures once i get the sand/soil in and will be able to get a better idea on temps.
