Nano Cube Lighting Replacement

[stanleyg1]

i have a 'hand-me-down' 12 gal nano cube and i suspect the bulbs are getting to the end of their lifecycle. where is the best place to get replacement bulbs in your experience? i have asked the LFS, and they have sets (i would require two combos of blue/white at 10000k and 24watt) that are priced, compared to what i seem to find online, at a 100% markup. what i'm really asking is where can i find the best (the real) price on these? what is the most reasonable online store to peruse?
thanks kindly, stan

what do u mean by 100% mark up most stores mark up 200% for dry goods and 300-400% on live stock. but the best place to get the bulbs would probally be for the maker of the cubes.

right. 200%.
so anyway, i got the lights off some website... the pair of combos for my 12 gal nano cube. should i stagger the installation of the two bulbs? my thought being that it might not be a good idea to simply blast two new bulbs in the system at one time. yeah?

it really depends on what u got in ur tank but doing it slow will always help. maybe juts one bulb at a time or u could shade it a bit.
