okay so $660 for Sunlight Supply 36" Tek Light T5 Fixture - 6-Bulb, 6 x 39W
Two of those

you could get a MH+ t5 for like 2 grand

thats really all i could find
the two have six bulbs so that would probably be the cheaper option, you could always look for some used ones
That's $660 for two 36" fixtures not including bulbs. So figure out how much 12 39W T5s will run you. Sunlight Supply also has a 72" Maristar fixture, 3 X 250W MH & 4 X 39W T5 for $960...oh yeah, all bulbs and MH ballasts sold seperately. Lighting is probably the most expensive thing you'll buy so bite the bullet and get something good. What the hell, go for the Geisemann, it's only $4000+.
