    acrylic is actually clearer than glass.

    Gene not silly at all, it is just transferring a theory to reality sometimes that isn't very obvious. I don't know if this is useful but i have a thermal/UV radiation/ lux chart done for my enclosure.

    Red numbers are temps (day) the first blue is µW/cm² UVB readings and the second blue number is Lux (luminous flux)

    thanks, my OCD does pay off for my animals. I bought the UVB meter and have photo meters anyway the rest was easy. I really want to play with a FLIR camera to see the gradients but... cost and not really needed just cool.
