I got a tank that had lights installed in the canopy. JBJ lights, retro fit. Need I say more? I have heard (all) bad things about these lights. GIANT ballasts, bad fans, bad bulbs. I have gone thru 5 bulbs in 2 months. Buy them, they burn out in 2 days. Return them, same thing. It would not be so bad but I have to drive 50 miles to get them. Anyone know where to order them online? Just to hold me over. I want new lighting. Something that can go in a canopy.
PC, VHO or MH. As long as it can go in a canopy and be purchased online. Money is no object. Did I say that ? I want the good stuff. I cant have MH lights hanging over the tank because "it has to look nice" (wife quote) It is a FOWLR tank but I will want more down the road.
I just had a bulb pop and spent 30 minutes picking glass out of the tank. I will make one more 50 mile trip to get a new one but I want something very reliable. Any links to buy will be rewarded with many thanks and a JBJ light setup, maybe! Not kidding, if I get something else the lights are up for grabs. I should say I have 4 lights and 2 of them have been ok from the start. I would think it is the ballast but the bad bulbs are different ones.
