I noticed this week my 26 gallon was looking more and more yellow every day. Today i asked Amy if the tank was looking yellow to her and she agreed. Sure enough the blue actinic i purchased months ago was dead. Luckily i kept the last set of old ones. Wow what a difference it made. Well that is the last set i buy from them, i have had past problems with them.

Hello,
I bought a few retro kits from them a couple years back and they were good at the beginning.The problem I had was with the ballast.I think when I first bought mine they came with SHO brand bulbs.They were awesome bulbs but company went out of business.
