Where's a good place online to get T5ho reflectors and lamps? I need 39 watt lamps and 3' individual reflectors. Whats the best brands, color temps?
Thanks!:D

According to Grim (who seems to be the authority), the best lamps with respect to PAR are the ATI lamps.

You can get them at www.reefgeek.com

+1 for the IC SLR's. Clearly superior to the Tek reflectors and now the Aqualux has pulled their CDR's from the marketplace, the only game in town for 4' and under.

yep.. its a shame one of aqualux's partners left. they had the most affordable and all lengths of t5 reflectors that were neck and neck with IC, so 10-20% better than the TEKs depending on depth. the main issues o with the teks should be taken care of with the new material they will be making them out of.

as far as where to buy ATI bulbs, well, there are a number of them. reefgeek, premium aquatics, ocean encounters has them IIRC.. many others as well
