Can we have a bulb group buy?

[Armando]

The bulb was not defective. What happened is that it (2x250hqi) didn't provide enough light for the corals and they all turned brown after 2 months. I switched to 1 megachrome and 1 AB and color came back cople months later.

I would stay away from XM bulbs (250W). I exchanged once and the new one got the same problem. I end up buying new type and threw away the XM.

Some people posted good things about the hamilton 14k, but i think it's too early to tell. I am not going to try new bulbs anymore, megachromes are working well for me. AB's are working OK. So i'll probably keep using them for a while.

I'll go with a pair of AB SE 10ks (13k) but the buy has to start within the next day and I'd need them shipped to my place in VT.

[SHOmuchFUN]

I'm looking for (2) 250w AB moguls. One bulb just broke (Tang splash), and the other is due to be changed

I would pass on coralvue I ordered two 400w 14k SE and got 1 14k and 1 10k and no return emails.Even the LFS I bought the bulb from doesnt return phone calls and I have been at it for two weeks.

i am getting an order from AB for warranty stuff (bulb replacements) the end of this week. if you still want ab bulbs post that your interested and i'll get a price for them

 

[Armando]

i'd be interested in checking the price on AB 250 HQI 10K

 

[ScottM]

i dug out the last time they quoted me. (~4 months ago) not sure if still valid. i can check tomorrow.

the bulbs will be shipping airborne Overnight for warranty purposes.

mmm these 250 10K prices are not very competitive. they can be bought for $69 (plus shipping)

 

[ScottM]

that may help us get a better price.

I think CRA gave us a pretty good deal last time on AB bulbs
