I was thinking to take a pic of my lowest buds (~ 2ft below the bubs). They are slightly smaller than a golf ball + nice and tightI can get a Quantum badboy T5 HO 4 foot 8 lamp fixture with 8 2900k and 8 6500k quantum lamps for under $320 delivered. My question is how large a area would it cover and how much penetration could that fixture get?
Niiiiiiice! That's awesome bro, looking forward to these pics.I was thinking to take a pic of my lowest buds (~ 2ft below the bubs). They are slightly smaller than a golf ball + nice and tight
My problem is budget,the red suns are $108 for 4 of them and $63 for 2 of each of the waves and $60 for 4 flora suns. These are the best prices I could find,seems like the lamp prices mentioned in this thread have gone up a bit. I want to buy enough lamps for 2 fixtures even though I'll only have one at first and save on shipping and handing and also get the veg,flower combo's. I'll have to order from 3 place's because of price and stock so I want to make sure I'm getting good lamp combo's for veg and flower before ordering. I can get the quantum bb 4x4 for $134 shipped.mrcourios
The (2) Flora Sun (2) Red Sun combo should give you great results in flower. When you decide to add the second fixture, go with a similar theme - Flora Sun/Red Sun/UVL 660 and try to throw in a Coral Wave or two for some added UV/IR.
marinedepot.com has red suns for $21.95, and coral waves for $16.50. Googled flora sun and found them for $11.60 each.

Petstore.com has the same price but I found that they have the 2 reef waves I want and if I add them to the order I get free shipping and they drop the $20 bulb handling charge. Comes to $108.88 and has insurance,marinedepot.com is $108.18 but no insurance. I still have to get the remaining lamps from 2 places because of nobody has all of them at a decent price. drsfostersmith.com has the 4 flora suns for $59.96 shipped and petmountain.com has the 2 blue waves for $34.75 shipped. I couldn't find anyone that had all of them at a decent price but saved $27 by getting the reef waves with the red suns and my lamp total comes down to $204 for the 12 of them.The flora suns at $11.60 is a smaller size or has expensive shipping,did a lot of checking.marinedepot.com has red suns for $21.95, and coral waves for $16.50.

Thats right, forgot google lists all the lengths when you search.

Nice find,where did you stumble across them? Problem is with their shipping and then adding the reef waves back to petmountan.com I save less then $4,but I'm going to call and check them out Monday. Because if I use them,I don't have to buy the red suns right away.I've never bought from these guys before, but this was linked in the other t5 thread. $15 4' red suns. They might have other things you need. http://www.aquariumlighting.com/retail/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=210&products_id=4509

You'd be surprised how many places will try to match prices for you, if it means a bigger sale for them. Send out a few emails and see if they will match the prices so you can consolidate your order with one place.Nice find,where did you stumble across them?
