Have a new setup that came with a 48inch T5 light... What's the best and cheapest place to buy T5 bulbs?

Flounder · Oct 13, 2015

Swe, brs, Nw, depending on the brand it appear to be map pricing. (same price no matter where you go)

That's true.

No hidden gems out there (online, even) that people buy their bulbs from for dirt cheap?

matters what brands your looking for

Dr fosters is a great place to buy. You can get 20 percent off during sales on most t5 bulbs

If your getting T5 bulbs I would go with ATI there really is no other comparison except maybe the new Gieseman bulbs. I stock both.

Dr fosters is having a 25percent off sale. The promo works for the t5 bulbs. I am loading up as I have an 8 bulb fixture

I can do $1 per bulb for my used ones....can't get much cheaper than that!

I have had great success with ATI t5 bulbs. Aquatic life bulbs should be avoided as I have had many bad experiences with those bulbs.

agreed ATI is great... search for a deal on them or giesemans but do yourself and don't skimp on a cheaper brand

If you can hold out a bit longer, I'd wait until Black Friday sales, most of the aquatic vendors will run at least 10% off sale possibly more.
