EBAY METAL HALIDE BULB
I have seen a reef tank that is running a MH SE 400W 14K Artemis brand bought from ebay for $20. It has a beautiful white with a sligtly blue tint on the tank, not like the XM 20K or 15k. All his corals color are excellent. I really want to buy the same one, but no where has it. The owner of this light bulb couldn't find it either. Does anyone else know where to buy this brand bulb ? If not, do you have any good or bad experience with 400W bulbs sold from ebay sellers ? I am thinking of saving money for a new tank if I can spend less on the bulbs instead.

I had contacted this company before, but they didn't carry Artemis brand. As frd72 had said the ebay bulb started to get dimmer in about 3 months, but the Grizz said they are great, I may just buy one bulb to try if no one knows where to get the Artemis. Does anyone else know about another brand from ebay ?

There is another seller from Canada called Hobby Light's. If you want a good example of how good these bulbs are just look at Dez's tank, he only uses the cheaper Chinese bulbs from what I read on his threads. I have never had a bulb dim after a few months and even if you change them every 6 months you are still ahead of the game as far as $$$ go.
EDIT: here is the link to Hobby Lights Online store http://stores.ebay.ca/Hobby-Lights-Oneshop?_rdc=1
