I have a 6-bulb TEK t-5 set up on my 55 gallon and when i bought it just bought the bulbs from the site i got it from, but now its time to replace them and have a few questions.
1). what is the best combination of bulbs for a reef tank? i have 2 atinics which come on first, then the other 4 come on later... so my question is what bulbs should those other 4 be?
2). where is the best place to buy those bulbs? i know almost every site sells them for 20-25 bucks, but i imagine you can get them from a lighting surplus store or something for much cheaper. anyone done this??

i would imagine that if you went to a light surplus store you arent going to find aquarium grade lights (not to shure tho) your best bet would probably be going to the lfs....i could see the look on my face when i open up a shipping box full of broken t-5 bulbs
