Light question 
would it be alright to run two light fixtures with a 50w bulb in each on one ten gallon tank? normally the 50w works fine but since its gotten colder its gotten somewhat harder to have the right temps

Keep the one light and get a UTH, which is an under the tank heater. Zoo-med has them or get a human one. Make sure you can control the temp for you could burn the bp. Hope this helped!!Zach

Just get a Ceramic Heat emmitter. THey emit more heat and last for well....a long time.What kind of bulbs are you using?
ESU reptile Red bulbs emit more heat per watt than other brands of red/blue.

Get a digital thermometer......
get a digital thermometer to measure your temps. Because unless your house is in the 40’s/50’s it isn’t that cold.
