T5 reflector question for my sps tank.

[pusanpa]

Hi I have T5 reflector question for my sps tank.
Is it time to change reflector? What do you think?
The reflector is about 4years old without acrylic shield.
New reflectors costs $70 shipped. :uhoh3:

Wipe them down with alcohol and a microfiber towel. If they are heavily stained or discolored then look into swapping them out, otherwise get new bulbs if they are old.
