250w SE MH bulbs

[dadyoj21]

I am posting to see if anyone has some used MH bulbs 250w SE, that I could borrow just to see how they look. I will be replacing the bulbs on the 220 and would like to see how some other bulbs and spectrums look.

I think I am currently running three 14,000k Ushio bulbs, with 2 6ft 454 VHO. I really liked the change to the 454 VHO from the super actinics and the color overall is pretty good now but would like to get an idea of what some of the other bulbs would like especially after seeing a couple of tanks with 20,000k bulbs on them this weekend.

anyways if you have any old bulbs laying around I could borrow for a day or two let me know.

I am going to place an order this week or next for the plus rite bulbs @ 1000bulbs.com
I am going to get 2 20k and 2 14k
I have heard good things about them and you cant beat the price of 14 bux a piece.
Shipping is ten and if you order more than 10 bulbs the price goes down to 12 each. If anyone wants to split shipping and get in on the group discount let me know and I will place the order

now I forgot to mention I have magnetic ballasts so will probe start bulbs work, or will I need pulse start bulbs. MH bulb knowledge is not a strong area for me, that is why I am looking for suggestions.

I am going to try out a set of the 14k and the 20k and see which one I like best. My ballast is magnetic and I am looking forward to trying them out because you cant beat that price.
