Test 3 is being conducted in set up with the mercury vapor bulb in a ceramic socket that is placed directly on a screen top that covers a 55 gallon glass aquarium. (The measurements are taken from the distance from the bulb, not the distance from the screen top.)

The following readings were calculated by taking 3 readings and getting the average of the 3. I thought this would be the most accurate way to get a good reading since the UVB intensity can change just by moving the meter a few centimeters in any direction.
