I'm very curious about this too. I have heard so many conflicting reports.. some replace their T5s once a year, some every few months, and you replace yours every 3??

Incredible tank John! That tank has amazing growth and is stunning! I have had my eye on those purple tangs too over the last few weeks. Would love to try one if I can get this tank up and running quickly (if there is any left!). They are so nice and fat!
GREAT BUY! Sorry to hear of the tank mishaps - seems to always go that way - one thing after another!
Gorgeous tank!

Previous to this I saw 6 months once, and I though that was crazy. I also thought the general consensus was 1 year (depending on quality of bulbs) - mine burned out sooner (damn Current USA 18" bulbs), but \I have a PAR meter to monitor my bulb life.

What's your reasoning on the 3 months (if indeed that is correct)?
