Where to buy T5's
Well I am switching to t5's or leds, I need to know some good places to look for them, any suggestions?
On another note should I get 6 foot t5's or should I get 36 inch t5s, what is better as far as bulb cost? basically I need either eight 6 foot t5's or sixteen 36 inch t5's. Or should I do eight 4 foot t5's ? My tank is 6ft with two rear overflows one in each corner.

I like reefgeek, that's where I got my bulbs and t5 retro kit. I have a 6ft tank also and just went with a 5' fixture. Just keep lower light corals in the end 6 inches and you're good. But with 6 bulbs the ends are pretty bright anyway.

I also like Reefgeek. BTW, they don't make 6' T5 bulbs (AFAIK).
