Hi, i bought a biocube 5 months ago. and my bulb already blew up. how long does it normally last?
Do you know the brand of your bulb? They normally last longer than that but you can get a bad/faulty one every once in a while.
When I started my first SW tank, I've had to replace my 4 T5s every 3-4 months as they kept breaking on me (yes, physically break with glass chips coming off). It wasn't a problem with water splashing or anything. I was told that this was simply a bad batch of bulbs. I later got another tank from someone and had to replace those same brand bulbs after a couple of months too.
I switched brands and my bulbs suddenly started to last way longer. Some brands are better than others.
thank you
