Any good + cheap t5 bulbs out there?

[Reeferon]

I would like to buy new t5 bulbs but not spend too much money.
Any suggestions?

I would say you get what you pay for. I'll keep an eye on this thread though as I'm also in the market for new bulbs.

Yeah I wouldn't skimp on bulbs unless its a fish only system, I've learned my lesson and only run ATis now. You can get a good deal on good bulbs if you get in on a group buy at BRS.

I dealt with Scott at reefcoralsstore on eBay. You can call him direct @ tel:503-709-7860. If you buy in quantity shipping is free. He has ATI bulbs, very reasonable.

how many bulbs you need..i dont think the ATI's are that expensive..They are the only bulbs I would run if I still had my T5

4 ATI bulbs + shipping = $90

If u could cut that in half, I'd be very happy.

I saw some German bulbs from PA that were like 13 or 14 bucks a pop. I do not know why the name Hexarc sounds familiar .
I recently just finished my bulb combo so maybe i will try them next go around .
I went with ATI, Geiseman , and Wavepoint .

I just bought 48" T5 ATIs from soslightbulbs.com. They had 10% off when I ordered last weekend plus free shipping. The code was AQ10off (which the site will still take), but it looks like the free shipping is gone unless you order $150. The four bulbs ended up costing $77.20 shipped. I know you're looking for cheaper, but that was the best deal by about $8 per bulb when I looked.
