So Reptisuns are T-10 I believe, what are the best T8 bulbs out there?

What Length? I have 48" Reptisun 5.0 and I believe they are T-12's

I understand that Zoo Med no longer makes the T12 and will only be making T8's - any T12s out there now are old stock.

Good to know....I had bought fixtures for the bulbs I bought, but didn't read the box and the fixtures were for T8 bulbs. The bulbs had a hard time starting and I realized I had mix matched Bulb/Ballast combo. I went and bought 2 more fixtures to fit the T12 bulbs and has worked great since.
Luckily I still have the T8 fixtures for next year (I bought 8 bulbs, which will last me 2 years @ 6 month life cycle).
