Parts for retro kits?

[Lightsluvr]

Where is a good place to purchase the parts, i.e. endcaps, good reflectors and ballasts to wire my own T5 retro kits?

I am planning a custom install on a light rack and no point in getting a more expensive assembled kit that I would just have to modify anyway...

Recommendations for reliable ballasts & end caps and efficient reflectors?

I am looking for a combination of quality with good prices. Hopefully both can be found out there somewhere...

depending on what length and how many bulbs you want, Icecap 660 ballast with SLR reflectors from Premium Aquatics worked well for me

Length & Bulbs

Sorry, I should have specified...

I will be using 8 or 10 54W bulbs (depending on reflector spacing) on each of two 34"x 47.5" aluminum light racks.

The racks will be suspended above a 96"x36" tank and will be on rails to roll out of the way for maintenance.

Thanks for the reply. Helpful info.

For some reason, the link to aquatic specialty didn't work.

Any body else?
