link please ? details of the failure ?Just a note to any one looking to buy t5 ho lights from ...growzebo on ebay ,dont dont dont ,garbage that could burn your house down and he is a cheese bag !!!!!!
be carefull with the units with the remote ballasts, a lot of reports of them frying. Possibly because they are cheaply made ballasts or because the ballast should not be left on when its not plugged into the Light. A number of Aquariusts have done ballast upgrades on the remote ballast for better lighting and the breakdown issues.For good inexpensive T5 lighting go to Aquatraders.com
thanks. agree choose carefully. I have picked up a lot from other vendors on ebay and am doing fine.http://stores.ebay.com/thegrowzebo?_trksid=p2047675.l2563.............failure posted above on post # 3
the reports I saw were specfiically for the fluoros. They gutted the ballasts and installed their own after the burnout. Otherwise I would have bought a bunch of their lights. They are very reasonable in price and easy to hang sideways. Hopefully they have gotten better^^^ I have been running both of their different T5 HO fixtures with no issues. The issue was mainly with their MH ballasts and that was over 5 years ago, since then they have really come a along way in quality. If I do have an issue they have always taken care of it. I was in the aquarium reef hobby for a long time and that is how I know about Aquatraders and Odyssea lighting.
