22" ZooMed Ultra Sun T5 6500k Grow Light

[GabeCastro]

I have a 22" T5 6500k ZooMed UltraSun grow light, which is used for aquariums. I posted it on here before I bought it and a few members recommended it also didn't see a problem with it.

I remember my last cham Jasper would shut his eyes during the day and i thought it was because of the coccidia/pinworms.

Turns out my new cham is also closing his eyes during the day. I turned off the 6500k grow light and he's more alert now and doesn't close his eyes.

Problem solved so avoid using this light, it may cause your cham to go blind
Luckily I figured out this in time before problems could have gone worse.

I still need a 6500k grow light though, Specifically 22" T5. Any recommendations? Links to walmart lights, lowes, homedepot, lightyourreps, etc will be a great help.

Thanks!

I think i'd prefere the 6500k just because everyone else who uses 6500k has 0 problems.

But if theres 22" T5 5000k thats just as good, I'm open to all suggestions aswell

do you think a regular lamp like this one here would do just as good? http://www.lowes.ca/incandescent-bu...l?isku=8789573&term=grow-light&linkloc=search
