im looking for the best place to buy 60" t5 bulbs, reflectors, and endcaps. i already have the ballast(icecap 430). i plan on using this for dawn and dusk effect, i also want 3-250w hqi's with reeflux bulbs either 10 or 12k but i know the 12k gives better bluer color. i also know that this brand gives off a very blue color, so im not sure of the best bulb combination i should get. i want a clear crisp color with a hint of blue. if anyone has any information or opinion, please tell me. i don't want to buy bulbs that im not going to be happy with.

ReefGeek. You'll get your 60" bulbs in one piece. He does a great job packaging them.

Debbie did a tremendous job packing my bulbs(inside a PVC tube which was bubble wrapped inside a peanut packed cardboard box), great prices, great service.

I like that packing method! I will not mention any names of a certain company that barely wraps skinny T-5 bulbs in bubble wrap, then puts in a very wimpy box with peanuts:confused: . I need to order 14 bulbs asap :eek1: .

He probably don't like me cause I called him at least 10 times before I order all the stuffs. Cheap - probably not, I dropped over a g on light alone.
