How often do you replace the't5' compact globes (tubes) in your Red Sea 130d?
I've been told every 6 months to keep corals happy?
Was also told that when the light starts to die it changes the light wave length. This change of wave doesn't favour the corals but promotes bad algae.

Changing every six months could add up. (Not that reef keeping is cheap)
Changing to LED also could be costly and the science behind them isn't 100% proven like the t5's.
 
I run my Red Sea bulbs until they go black (12-18 months)
