My bulbs only last about a month before they burn out, tried couple different brand bulb, what should I check or replace on the light fixture?
 
I use Lights- Coralife 34"/85cm Daylight 39w t5 Ho
The brand of bulb is zoomed, I've also used glo.
 
Either you're using the wrong type of bulb for the fixture (common issue) or as was said before, your ballast is bad.

You have to match the wattage (ie 20w, 30w, etc) of the fixture and the type of bulb (ie t8, t12, t5HO, etc) and that info will be on the fixture somewhere.
