OA sells them and good price too at around 85 bucks I believe..

Just a thought. tanks looks great
I'm using the single ended xm bulbs on HQI (DE) ballasts, there is easily twice as much light as I was getting with double ended bulb. The colour isn't the problem in fact I quite like the colour, very white. The problem is not acclimating the poor corals properly to the brighter light
