Tried to find out on your website.

How often should you replace the bulbs. On T8 in Freshwater I used to change every 6-8 months to avoid any reduction in quality.

Thanking you .

It is recommended that you change your t5 bulbs at least once a year. You can change them more often if you wish, but most change them yearly.

When you change your bulbs it is recommended that you change them one at a time rather that replacing them all at the same time. This will prevent any possible shock to corals as they get used to the lower light levels of an older tube and this also helps keep the light levels consistant.

Keep a log of which bulbs you change for future reference.
