No I didn't but I am planning on getting the retrofit kit now instead of the light fixture... mainly because of the three free daylight bulbs that I won't be using. I don't think OA gets the retro kits in. I called Greg just now and talked to him about it and I still can't decide how to have light sent.

Sooo very frustrating!....

I've got a pair of the cora-vue retro kits on my 40g reef and I'm very happy with them. Just make sure the kit you get has the proper T5 reflectors, they're shaped like an M, the ones shaped like a V lose a lot of light.

I've done a lot of research and the ones from Reefgeek seem to be the best. I know the light will be good.. just worried about the shipping part of it. I think I am going to go USPS and cross my fingers...

You could always fly down there and pick it up in person..

I purchased my Sunlight Supply Tek-T5 Retrofit kit from OA this summer. Unfortunately I had to wait about a month for the bulbs to come in from Germany. I'm not sure what the bulb selection is like now at OA though. If you do decide to by from the Yank's, than you might want to check out this site as well.
