Found that HO fixture for $81 shipped. Anyone get it cheaper? :)

They also have some reflectors for 20 bucks, seems to be some good pricing.

That's a pretty good price. I doubt you'll beat that anywhere else.

Got the fixture in, one caveat -

I didn't read the fine print, and champion lighting does only the salt version, though I was buying freshwater.

So much for saving the ten bucks or so, looks like I'll be ordering those Geismann bulbs after all, heh. Probably better off in the long run anyhow.

It is a single reflector, not individually wrapped. It is far better than what I've been using, and it should accept tek/icecap reflectors down the road should I decide to try 'em. I'll run like this for a while and see how it works.

Very sleek, very low profile - half the height of a standard fixture. My only complaint would maybe be that it sits awfully low, it doesn't have high legs like a PC fixture, the legs come horizontally out the sides, so it sits right over the water - just not something I'm used to, but it was obviously designed to do it.
