i read somewhere that you should replace a light every 6 months month to maintain good lighting because your old lights would fade. good lighting will keep your reef, fish and tank looking good

it doesnt matter too much in a fish only tank. keep a log when you replace the lights so you dont forget

Hey,
If you have lr in your tank and would like to get coraline to grow it would be a good idea to change the bulb. I have a reef tank, but even if it was FO I would have at least two bulbs on it. One actinic and one full spectrum. The colors of your fish will be much nicer. Just my .02
