t-5 fixture where to buy

[ladyfsu]

When I get home this afternoon, I'm buying my dad a T-5 fixture for the 55-g I'll be setting up for him while he's on vacation this week. Where, online, is a decent 4-strip fixture for under $300? Just looking for places you've seen or have been happy with. Thanks.

Support the local economy and go to your LFS. Almost any LFS sells a 4 strip nova extreme for under 300 bucks

Thanks all for the ideas and the pms. There are a few stores around I've never been to, so this may be a good time to go for a drive and check out what's there.

If you are interested in a retrofit kit, I have 4 T5 URIs (Aquasun x 2 and Super Atinic x2) 48", four ice cap reflectors, end caps, stand offs, wiring, and 2 ice cap 430 ballasts. All have been in service for less than 3 weeks when I decided to purchase a metal halide system. Since they were not even close for my 180 gallon setup.

Everything is essentially new. The reflectors still have the protective plastic covering on them.

I have a used Nova Extreme 48'' with 2 10,000k daylights,2 actinics, and moonlights as well. 54 watt bulbs. I paid 300 for it new.Selling them for 200.00 and I just replaced the bulbs about 6 weeks ago.

looks dusty in this photo but it works perfect

Laine,

Not sure if this would help, but I figure I ask.
