I have run the hagen t5ho retro kit for about 5 years, the ballast and endcaps are solid but the reflectors oxidized pretty quickly. also a good idea to secure the endcaps with zipties or replace the plastic bulb clips regularly. I have come home 3 or 4 times to a bulb half in my tank and still on, because the bulb clip broke.

Pgtanks, did the reflectors come with the kit?

I wondering if Hagen addressed the issue by not including the reflectors anymore. That's one way to take care of a problem. Lol

Good to know about the clips.
