Hi any Bros here using Arcadia to tan their red. Any feed back please. Thank you!

Quite effective as a tanning light, bring out higher intensity of red colour of potential red aros.

Any advise what location to place the tanning light? Top, side or?? Duration of tanning? Etc...tks!

how is this light compare to PL light?

I have been using it 24/7 , quiet good but the only issue is the tube cover will have a crack hair line and it start to leaking water into it.
first 3 month place inside my tank and now I have to hang it outside .

Yes. Same here.. those hair line cracking can be quite bad. Mine leak and short circuit.. when I put my hand in tank.. can feel the current ...

Using those T5 20k light are better. Tanning effects can be seen faster.

seems like case crack issue is so common

T5 are better for tanning and probably cheaper ;-)
