Best selection is AI by far. But also most expensive in town. BAs would be cheapest... Also good selection. But it's BA.

Gotta shop where they have what you need unfortunately.

I found shorter bulbs hard to find at other shops. 48" sure. Shorter, not so much.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I was looking at 24w and they were $18. Decent bulb.

Try steve at red coral. He MIGHT have your size. His prices are decent too. I was, however, not so lucky.

unless BAs sell the major brands( KZ, Giesemann, ATI, Aquascience) the savings is not worth it IMHO......cheap bulbs usually means poor PAR numbers..... more worth it to spend the extra $5 on a decent bulb
