T5 fixtures best value

[LadyTang2]

Aside from the $150 amazon 48 inch 6bulb T5 fixtures, are there any other quality fixtures out there that cost under 350? ATI is a little pricey. Does not have to match that size exactly.

Check your local listing for a clean used ati fixture. I paid 200 for a six bulb 48”. Good luck. I don’t know of any new fixtures to recommend.

Hydrofarm Argrobrite regular white or the designer option copper color are good

The powder coated steel doesnt rust too quickly? Too bad it comes w bulbs they charge you for, Id just throw them out right?

Sell bulbs on Facebook marketplace or craigslist. I'm sure someone could use them.... They sit far off the water so no worries on rust.
