WTB: 250w 10k SE Bulb

[compulou]

Like the title says, I'm looking for a 250w 10K SE Bulb and was wondering if any of you guys had one for sale or know of where I can get one at a decent price.

Thanks

best place and best bulb I've ever seen/used is the 10k XM. Pat has them at ReefLife. They're expensive bulbs though.. You'll also need actinic supplement, as they're WHITE.

The best I've heard of but not used is the ReefLux 10k, which are supposed to be white with a blue sheen. Expensive if you can find them locally (I believe), but online they're the same price as the XMs online.

Lou,
are the bulbs for your frag tank? I really like the 14k hamilton, especially because i don't use any supplemental actinic lighting. you will get decent growth and color. also pat at reeflife has em for like 50 bucks, if he still has them in stock

The 14k hamiltons are great if you don't have much supplemental lighting, as they're just blue enough to not need supplements, but still white enough to get decent growth. They're what I'm running now, but I'm a believer in 10k XM.

Reefwreck thanks a bunch for the great info.


Jess, yeah man this is for my frag tank. So your getting good/great growth from the 14k bulb?


I'll see if Pat has any more of those bulbs.

BUMP,

Called Reeflife and he no longer has those 14K Hamiltons in stock. Anyone else?

Still need a nice 10K bulb.
