Default NO actinic & 10K bulbs - Where to buy?

I know J&L had them, is there anywhere cheaper for NO actinic & 10K bulbs?

Also, do you need to protect NO bulbs from splashing?

I've been getting my NO actinic 4' Bulbs from Albright lighting $19.00 after taxes, don't know if you have an albright lighting where you are or if thats cheaper then what you had already priced out and no you don't need to cover them from splashing.
I think J&L is about the same.
Just my two cents

Cheers
Tyler

TNT, what kind of fixture/ballast/endcaps are you using to run those NO actinics?

These are the end caps
http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...uct_ID=ic-pec1

These are the Ballasts
http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...ct_ID=ic-b0660

By using the Icecap 660 it over runs the 40w NO lights to get a higher out put.

I have also just used ballast and ends from the hardware store

Cheers
