T5 HO Replacment Bulb Source

Tired of buying overpriced Coralife overpriced bulbs for a 48" Quad fixture.

Have heard in the past that only Coralife bulbs will fit the Coralife Fixture?? Doesnt sound correct as the bulb length and pin configuration should be industry standard.

Does anyone have a T5 Coralife fixture (of any length) that confiirm if 3rd party bulbs will fit/function??

Appreciate any responses...

Its only the coralife 31w (30") bulbs that are deigned for the oralife 30" t5 fixture.
If its 48" buy ATI bulbs.
Reefgeek is we're I usually buy them.
Giesseman & KZ are good brands also.
