www.reefgeek.com is the one and only place to buy T5's online. Greg's packaging is unbelievable. Those bulbs could survive a 10' drop the way he packages them!

For a high PAR 14K look I'd do this...
[front]
Giesemann actinic/blueplus
UVL superactinic
GE 6500K Starcoat
Giesemann actinic/blueplus
[back]

The GE Starcoat bulb is a PAR monster and using both the Geisemann blueplus bulb and the UVL superactinic will give you some extra pop from your corals since those two bulbs have their spectrum peaks at different wavelengths.

they are good, but there are others that do a great job and have great prices.
