Ok guys, I just PMed you the price of the bulb, please send your paypal directly to him and maybe we can have him ship it to me and you guys can come by and pick it up. Or someone can be brave and pay for the whole thing, have it ship to you and we will pay you back

I'm fine with paying for my own through paypal. Or Jason do you mind paying for mine and I can bring you cash on Thursday? Gotta keep the purchase on the down low.

update:

I place the order for the 13 bulbs this morning, the deal we got was $30 per bulb and free shipping. Wes will ship the bulbs to me and when I receive them I will let everyone know to come by and pick them up. At this price it is well worth the try. I am using one of these bulb right now ( for 3 weeks now) and it is coloring up real nice, the corals flourescent much more than the XM 20k and it is also much brighter(every one have seen it except for Mike). Longevity wise I dont know but if it last for 6 months then it will worth every penny.

 

[northbay-reefer]

ok the order went through and here is the message from Wes

Hello Tom, I have received the payment. This is what I will be shipping.

Tom 2 250watt 20k SE
Chris 2 250watt 20k SE
Mike 3 175watt 20k SE
Jeff 3 250 watt 20k SE

It will go out first thing in the morning. You will receive a confirmation shortly from USPS.com. Thanks again and let me know what everyone thinks of them. Thanks again, Wes

 

[northbay-reefer]

The bulbs are here .... come and get it

 

[corndogg]

Filter bags will be here tomorrow according to UPS. So I will most likely see you tomorrow sometime Tom. I can probably drop off the bags at your house since everyone lives close to you.

 

[northbay-reefer]

Jasson, sure no prob. See you soon

Very interesting! Does anybody of you have experience with the DE bulbs?

 

[northbay-reefer]

So after all of the testing and trying out new bulbs, I finally settled on the EVC SE 14k, I love the color and the par, very simmilar to the radium but at almost half of the cost with the lattest group buy. I hope they keep producing this bulb because I love them

As far as DE, I think you might want to try the phoenix 20k or the Helios 20k, those are also good

 

[fragarack]

I think radiums have DE's now if I'm correct.
