[gregrock68]

Does anyone make quality t5 bulbs in a 12" or 18" size? Struggling to find a source

It seems like the closest that you will come may be Current USA 18" T5 bulbs that are available at SaltwaterAquarium.com. It is unlikely that they are the same quality as ATI or Geisemann and are probably rebranded by Current (unknown manufacturer), however the fact that they are sold by a reputable retailer and the specs seem to be appropriate is a good start. Good luck on your search!
