Has anyone ever purchased from Glow Light Express?

I found a 4' 6 bulb Tek light for $305 (no bulbs)
Link: Tek Light T5 - 46

and a 4' 8 bulb Tek light for $330 (no bulbs)
Link: Tek Light T5 - 48

These are almost $100 cheaper than I've been able to find.

Too good to be true, or just a good deal?

If you've found them cheaper, let me know where.

Turns out they want $40 to ship it, where the other places have been free shipping. It was a better value buying the bulbs with the fixture, with no shipping. That actually saved $60 over the total Grow Light Express would have been.

Reading the description, it looks like the fixture doesn't have individual reflectors like the ones made for reefs. It's not really explicit in the description, but it is a big factor in choosing a T5 fixture.

Edit: The 4x54w fixture without bulbs seems to be cheaper at reefgeek.com

I went for the 6 bulb, 4 foot Tek fixture from ReefGeek, it came with 6 bulbs and ended up being $60 cheaper than if I bought from Grow Light then had to buy the bulbs somewhere else.

I cant wait till it gets here!
