So this is kind of a dumb question but.... Whats the best way to attach a fluorescent fixture in a glass vivarium. I thought about using foam sticky tape but that could be a problem when i need to remove the fixture to washout his enclosure. I also was thinking about zip tiying it to the folding screen top but im not sure if it may cause the screen to sag and fall down at some point. What do you guys do? Thanks.

If you were able to take a couple pictures of the enclosure and upload it then i would be able to offer some suggestions, its hard to guess without knowing what it looks like.

Thanks, I ended up getting a reptison 10.0 uvb bulb. I contacted zoomed and gave them and gave them my enclosure dimensions. They recommended the 10.0 bulb setting on top of the screen top due to it's higher uvb output.

This is his enclosure (for now) with his uvb fixture. I'm waiting for petco's next Dollar a gallon sale to get him a 55 gallon tank.
