Sounds like you're on the right track - but hard to know because there are so many conditions to consider. I don't know what an aquafin led lightbar is - and after looking it up, I still don't ... I couldn't find much about it except in pools, etc.

The UVB is the most important, along with a bask light that provides 110-125 dg for adults, or 90-110dg for juveniles. You have ambient temps to consider as well as the cool side which should be around 70dg. How big is your enclosure? Not a criticism, but I'm not sure if you're overdoing it. If you don't have one, get a temp gun and start aiming at the basic levels. In the end, that's the goal.

Don't forget humidity, constant fresh water, etc.

Does anyone know if Walter the moderator on here is still posting? I haven't seen any posts from him in quite a while

@Walter1 has been absent for awhile - I believe there are some things he's working out, but he intends to return. I miss him too!!
