Where to get light bulbs?

[zzyzx85]

So I was wondering where's the best place to get light bulbs.

More specifically, I'm looking for T5 24" 14W 6700K-10000K bulbs. They seem to be hard to find. I've stopped by PetSmart and they don't have much of a T5 selection. I've looked around online but I'd hate to pay shipping for light bulbs that I can pick up in local store.

try homedepot, they care a few t5 bulbs especially 10,000K bulbs. Can also try lowes. But if none of those places have it you can always order them online.

http://www.lightbulbsdirect.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT is generally a good place, but I'm not seeing any 24" T5s at all. Could you rewire for 48"? They've got a 6500K 4' bulb, 28W cheap.

nah, not unless I got a bigger tank. I've got the 20H right now with a 24" Coralife Aqualight above it. I'll stop by Lowe's and maybe Home Depot later today and see what they have.

I stopped by both places this evening and they didn't have what I was looking for. Guess I'll have to order online...

depending on where you order from.. but might as well order some fish food and all the other supplies you might need in the future.. save yourself a few bucks that way..

Well, I was going to reccomend DIYReef.com as I ordered several 54W bulbs from them, but I dont think they carry NO T5's... your selection will be more limited.
