Hello everyone. I found a way that can be helpful to anyone that may be using tube lights instead MVBs for their gus. I've read on a lot of forums, primarily on a an old iguana forum I was a member on, that uvb cannot really penetrate through screen.
Here's a link to a post I found on Beardedragon.org. Instead of using a fixture like the zoo med reptisun fluorescent fixture, this thread shows a cheaper and easier way to mount uvb lights inside the cage.

As the thread states, you'll basically need an under-the-counter fixture, which you can get from walmart and 3M Command Hooks. A lot of people on those forums use this method to mount UVB lights in their beadie's enclosures. I hope this may have helped anyone save a little money and was helpful if you're using tube lights
I also did another quick search to the fluorescent fixtures the members there used for their tube lights. Here are the links to them.
