The lighting that I currently have for my build is 6 x 48" t5's over the 75g and 4 x 36" t5's over the 60g. Ive decided I want 8 bulbs over the 75 and that Im gonna get rid of the 60 and get a second 75 instead. So, I need 10 more t5 lights. Simple, but it appears that something happened with LET. BRS has them listed as discontinued and outside of a couple random sites that probably dont actually have them in stock the only listings Im seeing are on ebay.

So, anyone got some pointers on selecting ballasts and sockets and such to build t5's?
