OK as you all know im upgrading soon and need to buy new equipment. Now this is what im thinking of buying http/cgi.ebay.co.uk/T5-Aquarium-Lighting-Fish-Tank-Lighting-4-x-39w-90cm-/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310210536929#ht_3561wt_872

It comes with the T5 tubes but do you think i should buy some better ones like ATI?

Ive heard many good things about this shop and lighting unit looks

You havent got anything in your tank that requires the more expensive t5 tubes, so why not stick with them and when you need to replace them in six months, do it then

Although when you do switch bulbs, I highly recommend ATI. Go with some blue plus bulbs and ditch the actinics completely. You won't go back

I have no direct experience but I mentioned them at the LFS. A guy overheard me and said "Are those the ones from all pond solutions?". He then went on to tell me they were chinese imports, he bought one and blew all the ballasts within the year. They do look like a good buy to me but just repeating what I was told. His parting words "Buy right, or buy twice"

EDIT - Should add the guy was a customer not anyone connected with the LFS.
