    Hi all.
    I am new here and thought that I can contribute to the community.
    I have a very good contact in the lighting industry who can get me good prices on ballasts, end caps, etc.
    Let me know what you guys would like pricing on, and I will see what I can do.
    If there is enough interest, I will buy some stock in and keep at home.
    HIH

    Hi

    I find the T5 waterproof endcaps a bit overpriced at LFS. Can you get hold of those? Also, I am looking for T5 54W plant grow tubes, specifically Philips Aquarelle. I don't know if those are being imported by Philips, but perhaps your contact use different suppliers. Alternative would be Sylvania Grolux T5 54W.

    What will the prices be for a 1.5m tube and baluster or close to that size?
    T5 or T8

    Darryn, thanks for the offer!

    Pricing on dual 54w T5 ballasts would be great! Also interested in the tubes that Laure mentioned.

    [FONT=&quot]I need/want to redo the entire light setup of my new (second hand) tank. The oak I bought it from went crazy with the side cutters when dismantling the setup and I do not want to mend all the wiring back to something dangerous.

    I will probably want approx 6x 840mm T5's with all the required equipment to make them shine. Would be nice if you can find out as I have no idea what I'm in for.[/FONT]

    Hi guys.
    What a response ....
    I have been in meetings the whole day so have only had a chance to go through posts now.
    I will speak to my contact on Monday and see what I can do.
    Hopefully the pricing I get will help you guys out.
