Anyone have experience with both, I need to purchase a couple of bulbs for a Current T5 HO fixture I purchased, to replace the actinic bulbs. Looking at Bigals, the coralife are half the price of the current, 11.99 vs 21.99.

Check the Coralife bulbs again. I'm pretty sure they aren't HO. I think most, if not all, of Coralife fixtures are T5NO.
Yup your right. That decision was easy, lol.

You're welcome. I just ordered a set of bulbs for my Coralife Aqualight. Both bulbs burnt out. Thank goodness it was the bulbs and not the ballast. I was freakin' out for a while until I tested the unit with a bulb from my other set and it was still good; only bad bulbs.
