Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

King Ed has the throw away type (Heilos) in stock, you have to ask for them or look very hard for them. That includes a built-in ballast. T5 are actually HO lights. If you are starting new it would be a good setup to combine these with metal halides. You could also check with jack from Ocean Aquatics I think they were looking to carry them soon.
