buying bulbs here will kill the pocket book! stay with the 20k,s thats what i run now xm 20k.

ok my mistake......... i thought it was the other way around the more white the higher k value. i run 175w. i was looking at the 20k xm..... they look good on ur tank ed. any more sudgestions? jl is the way to go?

I order my bulbs from www.oceanencounter.com

The EVC series.

So far I'm impressed and they are quite abit cheaper than local. Especially when you buy a few of them.

Shipping time has usually been about a week n' a half.

are they a canadian or american company?

I think their american, because in the shipping they mention that they usually use US postal service. I wish they were canadian with those prices :mrgreen:

They're American, but they ship via. USPS Airmail which is nice.

I found that Arc 14000K bulb very blue too, but if you don't like the 14000K, don't buy 20000K, as it is even more blue. You may have to have a look at 10000K. I have a 10000K HQI bulb, and like it very much :eek: .

the hqi bulb will work in this set up? the more i look at the tank teh more the blue is growing on me almost starting to like it.

I am buying my IceCap 150W HQI 10K DE bulbs from CoolTouch in Toronto. Seems like good prices. You can check their SE bulbs for your system. Their website prices are in US though but at 1.20 exchange rate, the prices are quite good. But you'd have to add on top of that for shipping so it might not be great if you are buying just 1 or 2 bulbs.

No HQI is double ended. :sad:

ya almost not completly sold on the blue yet

Alot of reefers really like the blue, but I myself don't like it too blue. :rolleyes:

we will see it seams to bring alot of color out of my fish and add a neat look to some of the othe fish.

Buying bulbs from cool touch lighting is 14$ Canadian for shipping. Called them last week on some bulbs. They have a special on 14k bulbs at 47.00 Canadian each. That is for 175 watt and 250 watt. 400 watt are a few dollars more. The bulbs are Aqua cool, I have never heard of them, anyone ever used one of these bulbs?

I got excited until I got to the checkout page and it says:

"PRICES ARE IN US$" :neutral:
