Is this light bulb good for aquatic turtles also?
- Yes, the Reptisun T8 5.0 bulb would be good for an aquatic turtle. I would recommend checking out the Choose the Correct UVB bulb chart on Zoo Med's website to find out which bulb will work best for your set up.

Is this just the bulb what fixture do I have to get to go with it? Do you not have this bulb and fixture that not so high
- Hello, The Reptisun T8 5.0 bulb comes by itself. You will need to buy the fixture separately. We do make an item LF-65 that comes with the 20 inch Reptisun T8 hood and has the 18 inch Reptisun 5.0 bulb included.
