Default Basking

I have changed the rocks which make up the basking area as I have increased the amount of water in my tank as they are getting bigger. Before I did this my Yellow Bellies where always on the rocks basking now it very rare to see them on it. Any ideas why they not using as much. Do I need to change anything.

Also I have to change my uv tube soon. Can you get one with a too high rating?
