Alright, not from Manitoba but seriously considering ordering from these guys... (6 bulb t5s units for under 300 INCLUDING bulbs/hanging kit...)

Any pros or cons would be appreciated...

The prices are in US funds so the 36" is actually $341.99 and the 48" is $371.99. Still, not bad prices. I am also curious.....

We bought our skimmer from there and we got good service

it'd cost $32 to ship it...so $370ish...with bulbs and hanging kit.....

I sent them an email inquiring about the reflectors, bulbs etc. Let you know if I hear anything back.

The reply: The unit is manufactured for SWC. This includes the bulbs and ballasts. It is one reflector that is aluminum.

Pass on the one reflector

Unless you could retrofit for cheap.

herm...yes indeed. Although the pic did/does look misleading...

*sigh* the search continues...

They look cheap but a couple of people on here have said they come with individual reflectors. Maybe search them out on NR and RC and see what buyers have to say.

I have bought the relacement set ups - they came with individual reflectors. Have been running for 3 plus years. Only complaint is the plastic clips that hold bulb to reflector get brittle very quickly and they break - had to rig up system to connect them.
