New Bulb
 

I am wondering if there is anywhere in Canada to get AB (Aqualine Bushke) single ended 250w bulbs.

I'm looking for something a little more blue than my sun aquatics 10k bulbs.

Thanks.

BOB didn't you mention that it's the bulb you use?

Lots of places do. But the cheapest I've found was:

If you don't mind shipping from the States, Premium Aquatics ships by USPS.

Ocean Encounter was $3 US cheaper but they didn't respond to my emails.

Shipping MH bulbs is always a risk. I hope VISA will insure my purchase since shipping companies don't.

Thanks sam!
Have you used this bulb before?
Anyone else used this bulb before?
If so what did you think?

Thanks

I have two AB 175W bulbs from Premium Aquatics. They were both shipped at different times by USPS, and arrived just fine. I like them because I am not fond of the real blue look. I also don't supplement them. :biggrin:

Hi Jonathan. I haven't used the mogul version before. I have used the DE version. I still preferred to add actinic supplementation with it.

FWIW, I thought Steve/Stircrazy used that bulb for a while (on M80) and was happy with it.

I sold my AB bulbs to Steve because they needed to run on a different ballast to look whiter.

I know the AB DE bulbs at 10k are not nearly blue/white enough for me and I'm going to 20k.

So would these bulbs run properly on a pfo standard 250w ballast?

They will be a yucky yellow color. :biggrin:

Thanks Deb.
glad i didn"t order them :lol:
