Just a few whites questions.

Just a few questions on seeing conflicting info on

Should I use an incandescent bulb with my UVB 2.0 bulb? If so when?

I have a humidifier of the cool mist silent type which I fill with bottled spring water, is this an effective way of helping with humidity?

Any tips would be appreciated.

I have whites by the way.

Humidifier- by all means yes! Aim for 50-60%

Uvb- have it on any time your day time bulb is on.

What kind of day time bulb should I buy?

How long each day would u run the humidifier?

Some people like me let foggers run 24/7 if ya can regulate them. If not about 30 minutes 3-4 times a day and maybe kick on 1-2times at night.

Bulb size and tank size go hand in hand. Decoration placement also effects this. What size tank are you workin with?

The tank is 60cm long 60cm high and 35cm wide.

Right now I have the dual top exo terra top with the exo terra uvb 2.0

Also my humidifier is a very good one, it's a Homedics cm50b, it has a low, medium high setting

I love those exo terre tops. I have the 3 fixture ones. Or make my own now a days lol. Those will support a 60w bulb no issue(mine have over a year now). But, put it opposite of the switches. Their switches are kinda cheapish quality. Ugh always cleaning the reflector because of the fogger... Run a 60w zoo med blue and your uvb.

Sounds like a 29g by our standards(grumble grumble metric system grumble grumble).

For the fogger, how is it plumbed in? Add a simple ball valve to the plumbing to cut back or regulate your flow rate maybe? If not a timer would be the way to go... Or for the tech savy a humidistat would just run it for you.

The fogger isn't plumbed in at the moment, it's just blowing in through the side. I have a grill on the bottom right hand side of the tank and it just flows in through that when I put it next to it.
