    shouldn't be a problem.... they're made by current and current products have a reputation of being very good quality at a reasonable price!

    kk cuz i went to the LFS and they told me that this system is terrible and the ballast is made in china and does not last at all... so i was kind of worried that i'd need to buy a new light soon

    just about everything is made in china, just some stuff gets assembled elsewhere, current products are a high end value line, nothing bad about them IMO the only thing I'd recommend is buy better bulbs for it

    when you mean buy better bulbs does he mean the brand or the color of the bulb

    the little one doesn't look too happy! lol was the bigger one pushing him around in the container? it's pretty easy with those wood floors. mine used to do that on the asbestos tiles in base housing! real good for sliding!

    the little one is actually laughing - yes he was being pushed around, the container has 4 wheels - he is 1 year old, his brother is 7 little guy cant walk without someone holding at least one of his hands, but he can crawl to the container and shove his foot over it, which lets big brother or I know its time for pushing

    wood floors also a great advantage for someone who makes a mess with SW at water change time
