Also is a T5 Bettter then a T8? I went to walmart and bought a Light fixture And found out it fit T8 bulbs... Also Found out that a Reptile Store Sold me a T8 Repti Glo Bulb when i specifically asked for a T5... But I all ready have the Fixture & Bulb is a T8 at least Good?! I couldn't find A T5 Light Fixture?

That's a T8. I think most people order the fixtures online, unless there is a store that sell grow lighting for plants.

Which is better depends on your setup and the fixture you use. A T5 with no reflector is better stronger than a T8 with no reflector. https://sites.google.com/site/thelizardmadness/lighting-guides
