ATI T5 Bulb group buy

RTMA

DIY Fanatic
Is there any interest in a T5 bulb group buy?

I have spoken to Chris at Exotic Aquatics and he is willing to work with us on ordering these bulbs for us with pickup at his store or from me in Norwalk or at my office in Stamford.

I'm looking for 4 54W bulbs ( 3x ATI Blue Plus + 1 Purple Plus) and I know Seth said he'll be in for 4 - 24" ATI Actinic bulbs

Any other interest? I'll see if I can get some quantity pricing from Chris.
 
I'm due for some new bulbs in a few months. Would be looking for 5 39w bulbs
2x ATI Blue Plus
2x ATI Aquablue Special
1 ATI Purple Plus
 
I was about to place my bulb order and saw that there was still interest amongst folks on doing a group buy. I'm happy to follow up on this if Joe doesn't mind as I'm overdue for some bulbs. I've been doing some ordering from Affordable Aquatic over the last month and they told me they could oder bulbs for local pickup -- prices seemed OK too. If you are still interested, PM me the specific bulbs you are looking for and I'll try to see if I can work out some bulk pricing. This would be for local pickup either in Stamford, Norwalk, or Trumbull.

Joe - If you are still working on this, let me know and I'll let you take back the reigns.
 
Yep still on...was just waiting to see who else was interested in bulbs. Was going to give people until the end of week (Sunday) to let me know and see what type of deal we can get.

So far I have:
Me (5 - 36" Various ATI colors)
BigCapCt (1 - 48" Purple Plus or Fiji Purple)
LI Sound (2 - 24"GE 6500k; 2 - 24" ati blue plus)
Gmate (1 - 96watt Actinic Square Pin Compact Fluorescent Lamp)

I think they can get any brand in of T5, but will find out about the CFL.

Anyone else?
 
RJ if you're in trumbull that works really well, I'm in Monroe/Shelton. Let me know when you're posting this order because I have the inclination of buying them with one day shipping and just getting it already.
 
Ordering tonight most likely, I don't want to harm the livestock any more than I have to. Corals aren't opening with just the whites fully and I know the sudden change isn't helping - I inherited this bulb and fixture so I didn't have the ability to plan when it would die out. Thanks for the interest though folks.
 
Hi Everyone, the bulbs everyone wanted will be available. I'll send everyone pricing info later tonight/tomorrow as soon as I receive it. If anyone wants to add anything, let me know ASAP.

For those that are still interested, these are bulbs we are getting in. Pricing is basically online pricing w/o taxes (or if you were purchasing online-- w/o shipping or special packaging fees). Let me know before 5pm today if you would like to add to our order. Again, pickup in Stamford or Trumbull:
