Re: [GSAS-Member] Any place to get T5 bulbs locally?

Eric:

I am working up the courage to go T5 HO.  I have the ballast, a vendor on Stone 
Way (Aqua Serene) that had a good price on 6700K and 10000K (> 1 year ago), and 
hoods to retrofit.  I just need endcaps, reflectors, and time.  If there is a 
local source for T5 goodies I would like to hear too.
