I am looking for some 60" T5 equipment and I am having a hard time finding anyone with a good selection of bulbs and reflectors, so far all I can find is this
Retrofit T5 Systems - D&T Aquarium Supplies- Product Info - 60 inch Hamilton 2 x 80 Watt HO T5 Retrofit Kit. Fully wired and fully assembled
Which is about what I want, but I want both actinic, and they don't detail if they are mounted together or if I can separate them and hang them one from each side of my Luminarc 3's

Does anyone know of an online retailer who has a selection of 60" T5 products?

Thanks
Kevin
 
Looks like i found the answer seconds after I posted this, I looked for like 10 mintues before I swear! Aquacave has a decent selection, is there anyone else?
 
I got my 60" set from Reefgeek. 6X80w with your choice of bulbs for $600 with Icecap 660's
 
Looks like a similar selection there.

Is there a ballast besides the Icecap ballasts that will drive 2x 80w bulbs? They are just there for color mostly and I didn't want to have to pay more for the ballast and replace the bulbs more often with the icecap ballasts.
 
The icecap actually drives 3 60" bulbs. And I am not sure, the 660 or 430 is the only ballast I will ever use.
 
I've got a URI ballast 660 and reflectors that you can have cheap. I have around 10 bulb's you can have too. If your interested let me know.
 
If it's just for color and is a 60" tank 48" T5's would give you more bulb and ballast choices and be quite a bit cheaper.
 
Sorry I never saw these posts after my last one till just now, I just bought a workhorse Ballast and the 60" stuff from aqua cave and a small company for the ballast, the tank is 8 feet so it needed more then 48" lights
