![]() Anyone used one long enough for bulbs changes? I,m going to purchase a 6 bulb 24in. unit. Looks like T-5 users on some of the Rc forums are barely getting 9 months out of the bulbs, on various units.
Thought T-5,s were suppose to last 18 months. ![]() I was hoping to get about 14 months from a set.

![]() So you telling me those owners with the large 10 or more bulbs units on their sps tanks, spend over $250 quarterly on bulbs?
