    Hey Gang,
    I'm getting ready to replace the three bulbs in my fixture and was wondering what seems to be the brightest, best choice to go with? I can't afford to get a t5 set up now so this will have to do. Any good results with certain bulbs out there?
    Thanks!
    Matt

    I wouldn't even now where to get T8 bulbs from. I've never seen T8 bulbs meant for aquariums in a store or online. I just did a quick search of some well known suppliers and didn't see any T8 option for reef bulbs.
