I just bought a 125w Solar Glo for our red eared slider. what fixture is recommend for this bulb? Turtle is in a 100 gal rubbermaid .

That is a powerful bulb, I would recommend a large heavy-duty dome with a ceramic socket, probably something like this: http://www.bigappleherp.com/Big-Apple-P ... Fixture-10 or a porcelain wire lamp.

Your bulb should have recommendation included as well. Do you have any other pets, like cats?

Yes we have 8 cats or should I say my wife has 8 cats. I have 30 fishtanks full of fish.

Cats seem to be drawn to the heat of basking lamps, so you might want to devise a way to keep them from getting close to it.
