After careful consideration, I am giving Chewy an excellent review. Although, the florescent tube was already broken in transit which is no fault of Chewy. I have no doubt Chewy would have replaced it without any questions or even refunded me if I requested refund. Anyway, I replaced my fish tank and the new one came with sets of lights. Chewy always takes care of its customers and, their pets.

It came well packaged but must have been damaged before it got packed up because the prongs that fit into the light housing were pushed in some and bent over. My husband was able to straighten the prongs and pull them back out so we made it work. I’m sure I could have returned it and order another but I needed it fast. But it’s still working

Chewy was the only place that sold this type of bulb for aquarium lighting.

Don't like the "new" color lighting that most retail shops sell.

Chewy customer service is the best!

I ordered the wrong size. Chewy’s quickly sent me another and let me keep the other to donate.
