Hello everyone. I have this one in 72" http://www.aquatraders.com/72-inch-4x80W-T5-Aquarium-Light-Digi-Timer-Fixture-p/52327p.htm

The 10,000K T5 lights that came with it didn't even last me 8 months, and slowly started to dim down. During my research over this fixture, I read that people used different brand T5 bulbs due to the Odyssea ones lacking quality, however I've also read a review over the ballast burning out due to using a different brand bulb. Is this true?

If anyone has this same fixture with different brand T5 bulbs please share your experience. Thanks!
