I've been seeing that everybody seems to buy their specialty tubes online.
Did you know you might be able to buy them locally at a fish store or pet center?
I know that both Petco and PetSmart sell various popular ones.
Even Walmart near me carries Coralife brand tubes for less than $20.

Yes Walmart, Petco / Petsmart do carry some. Mostly Zoo Med T5 bulbs.

The brands that everyone on here uses for PAR lighting is usually UV Lighting, Korallen-Zucht, ATI.

The Korallen Fiji bulbs are the most..

thanks all for the input. im going to prepare for when my T5 gets here. its been ordered and then ill decide what to do about the bulbs after a grow or two. PAR certainly is interesting but it might be too fancy.
