[LVReefer]

What the? Is this in reference to a manufacture / fixture?

[Covey]

They are the odd ball via-aqua T-5s. Depending on when you got them the bulb might not be replacable. They are in the new ones but not it the old ones.

[Matt Rogers]

Ok. I am still confused.

Covey are you saying there is a difference in the bulbs?

From what I am reading from Jonathan it relates more to the fixture.

Here is the homepage of the importer for those lights.

Which light where you talking about Matt?

[jonathan]

yes, it was off the via aqua site...it was about the only thing i could find relating to t-5, t-5 II, etc. sorry if it wasn't the exact definitions you were looking for, i was hopefully trying to lead you in the right direction....

[Matt Rogers]

Thanks guys. I just gleaned the I II III thing out of an ad in FAMA. I'll have to go back and see if that was Aqua or what.
