Athena, I hope you don't mind me adding this. I don't know if you knew this but most of the full spectrum tubes only give off optimum UVB for about 90 days. After that the amount of UVB lessens rapidly. The manufacturers don't tell you that. So this is something you might want to look into about the tube your using. I hope this is of some help.
God Bless,
Tim
