Anyone know a good place to buy replacement T5HO bulbs????
Online or at a local store. I need to buy some new bulbs. I recently bought some, but all were damaged during shipping. I got a full refund, but think I will try a different source.
Anyone have any luck with any places????? Thanks!

I purchased my bulbs from Premium Aquatics, and they did a job packing the bulbs. I will order my replacement bulbs from them again.

Im in the same boat as Tom... Always buy online stuff from Premium Aquatics. Great prices, great service, and everything gets here next day via regular UPS ground....
They package their bulbs in triangle tubes, with foam surrounding each and every bulb....  If I remember correctly, you had a 4 bulb unit.... I would go (2) ATI Blue+ and (2) ATI Aquablue Specials if you like a 14k'ish look.... If you like it a little more blue, I would do (3) ATI Blue+ and (1) ATI Aquablue Special.
