Does anyone sell T-5 bulbs here in the Sacramento Area? I broke one of my bulbs last night cleaning one of my reflectors and am looking to replace it. I hope I don't have to have it shipped.

Exotic usually has them (ATI); they were out of the 48" blues on Sat.. i picked up 2 48" actinic blue from Eddie at TP on Sun, and unfortunately (for my wallet) a few other stuff.. it was my first time there, so i was unprepared.. :)

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. I will start calling around to see if any one has them in stock.

After calling around I went down to O st. They said they had them in stock. Unfortunately they had a 34w T-5 kit but no 54w bulbs. Exotic said they would have them on Fri.

Well I just got off the phone with Exotic and now they say they wont be in until next week. I guess I should have ordered them online to begin with. Stockton is a little far to drive (the cost of fuel will out weigh the shipping cost). Any ideas on online sources?

He may have meant me...I have calvo's book on coral propagation. I should be here by the next meeting. I had a death in the family and had to fly to Wisconsin so I missed the June meeting.
