    I found this site surfing and their prices are pretty good. www.bltaquarium.com should into it and see if it seems quality.

    I am not sure if that is such a great price considering what you are getting. DO NOT BE CONFUSED WITH T5 and T5HO. A T5 lamp is pointless, you might as well buy a T8. Look at the lumen output and compare. Even if it was a T5HO it still is not that great of a deal - sure it is cheap but look at what you are getting - the reflector has no bends. the engineering of a reflector is critical to how effective it will perform. The lampholders do not look to be moisture resistant either.

    They only have 2 t5ho products, and none are above 24"'s. I'd say look around, try locating a sun sytems dealer near you, they've got a way better reflector and all sizes.
