GLO brand?

It is the brand that my LFS sells. Just wondering what anyone thought of this brand. Going to upgrade my lights in the next couple months.

4x24 watt t5 nova extreme 24" fixture.

Also any suggestions on the spectrums. Currently have 2 10000K and 2 actinics. Have an assortment of corals.

My LFS sales the same bulbs.
I personally think that the stock bulbs the fixture came with are a bit better than the GLO bulbs.
I think you'd be better off to go with bulbs from ReefGeek.com.

I didn't even know GLO made replacement bulbs in T5-HO....only regular normal outputs.Personally,I would go GE6500k,ATI Aquablue Special 12k,ATI Blue Plus and UV Super Actinic.Those I mention have very good PAR and can be purchase throw Reefgeek.com as Yote mentioned.
