    I have a 6 bulb 54W 48" T5 set up and i was wondering where the best place to purchase some new bulbs would be. I am thinking of going with ATI since that is what was in there when i got my light and i have herd they are pretty good.

    Get in on a BRS Group Buy (BulkReefSupply). They carry ATI bulbs and with the Group Buy pricing, they are the least expensive I can find them. Seems like there is a Group Buy going on here about once a month.

    By the way: Got any pics of that Pink Monti I'm patiently waiting my turn for?

    I recently bought 6 t5 bulbs from Marine Depot. They have a good selection, reasonable prices and free shipping if you buy 4 bulbs or more.

    BRS & aquacave. Have bought from both and nothing but top notch processing & delivery. Plus both are sponsors.
