Newbie - SWCP set up

[leannem1987]

i have a small tank I’m trying to set up but confused on heating. It’s only 30x30x30cm, with a 25w UVB light overhead. Looking at getting a ceramic heat lamp to put above, but unsure if i’d get away with 50w or need bigger 100w....help or advise please

A ceramic heat lamp will heat too much of the enclosure for a proper gradient.

assuming its glass, best to use a heat mat of 5w underneath or heat cord
