Zesty is in a 20 gallon and I wanted to know would this be enough lighting/UVB. The wattage for light is 75W and the IVB a 10.0 mini compact bulb. A picture of the product is also included!

nqa so definitely dont buy that one lol
youre gonna want your uvb and heatbulb in separate fixtures
for uvb, you dont want a compact bulb
a linear one will give much better and safer levels of output.
if youre able to order online, heres the shopping list vv

QA To add the 10.0 is way too strong for a Leo! The number is basically a percentage of UVB rays. 10.0 is 10%. When Leo’s are outside, they’re usually out during the evening and early morning when the UVB rays are very low. The preferred UVI (UV Index) for a Leo is between 0.5-1.5. A 10.0 UVB bulb will create a UVI that is more like a midday Sun, which has a much higher UVI.
A better bulb option is the Arcadia ShadeDweller or the ReptiSun T5HO 5.0

adding onto what moo said, choosing a UVB is dependant on a few things just as a heads up!
Distance from the middle of the bulb to the basking spot / floor (or height of the tank) and the tank's lid mesh are two big factors in choosing what bulb to go with!
Not every tank is equal and those two things mess with UVI !
