Doug over there is REALLY helpful, good prices IMO, and you also get a 10% discount, just for being a member here at TRT!

For the cheepest price check out www.diyreef.com/shop/, www.reefgeek.com and or www.hellolights.com. The Reef Tank Lighting is a little over priced. At 38 on T5's when the reset are priced at 21. I guess it depends on what bulbs you are looking for.

ditto on all above!
Sometime each will have great deals on various bulbs. Just depends on which specific type, brand, and K rating!
But all great places!

It wil be a bit on the yellowish side. But if you don't mind the look then get it.
I'd do the 10K and actinic however!

the actinic will offset the yellowish look of the 6700k. You will get better growth if you have sps too.
