UVB advice
LOG IN TO CLOSE THIS AD
I have the 30 x 45 x 45cm exo terra tank for a small female.
I use the Arcadia Natural Sunlight 2% UVB Lamp which is 18 inches. I pair this with Arcadia T8 Fluorescent Reflector of the same size.
The distance between the light and the highest point is around 30cm, as the light is on the mesh.
I have the uvb at the front of the tank, having little to no uvb hitting the back of the tank. I use tinfoil to block some light at the back of the tank so its not too harsh.

Some concerns I have are if 2% is too little with a mesh lid, or if there's too much uvb exposure for my little girl.

Since leopard geckos don't spend much time basking, most keepers don't use UVB. I don't think they can overdose on UVB, though, so I recommend continuing with calcium/vitamin D3 supplements and using the lights in which case you really don't have to worry about whether it's adequate or not.
