**dna9179** · 9th Nov 2009, 02:00

I bought this AquaZonic from NA and it spoil after 1month use. I went back to change and this month spoil again, the 1side not working for both time.

I on it for 6-8hour daily and the area is not cover ect, so not over heating.

Any other brand around that price of 20-40++ beside AquaZonic. Quite unreliable if i spoil so easy.

Not boyu too

Recommend me a brand and price of it. where to get too.

Thanks alot

I have an adjustable Kotobuki lightset for small tanks, and it's still working after 5 years. You might want to consider buying those Japanese light sets from GEX or Kotobuki.

where you buy those brand from and how much they cost?

I got mine from C328. They got a large range of light sets, from clip-ons to standard sets. Usually during Aquarama, you can get good deals for light sets. Maybe you might want to try Dymax? I'm not sure how that brand performs, but as far as I'm concerned, nothing beats GEX/Kotobukit brands for small tank lights.

Try Illummax, I'm using the 1.5ft 36w PL light set for more than a year without any problem. I have the AquaZonic 1.5ft T5 32w (16wx2) too, overall is fine just one of the light tube spoil after a month.
