According to their web site they do ship to Canada and by USPS as well so no brokerage fees. I was looking at the 100 micron nylon bags, only around $4.00 each but there is a minimum 25 pc order.

ATI T5 HO fixtures have 6 bulb models. Reef Geek carries them. They are more expensive than Teks though. The Sunpower models are cheaper than the Powermodules, seem the same except for less fans.
