Anyone know where is a good place to buy these bulbs? I can't seem to find many choices.

Didn't find any on reefgeek, if you know where they are, post the link.

T6 are a slightly wider bulb, with thicker glass so less fragile. They are a bit brighter, and can be used in other fixtures like VHO T12 etc. because the pins are farther apart. Basically an updated T5.

T6 bulbs have the same electrical pin configuration as T8, T10 and T12 bulbs. T6 bulbs can fit in T12 fixtures, T10 fixtures, T8 fixtures and T6 fixtures.

T5 bulbs require T5 fixtures.
