Inexpensive bulbs

[Coffeeman]

I found a source for inexpensive metal halide bulbs.I ordered a 70 watt DE 10k bulb yesterday for $39.00 , they also have 20k bulbs for the same price.I'm not sure about the quality but the price is right.They also have a big selection of other bulbs too. http://aquariacanada.com/osCommerce/default.php

At those prices one can't afford not to order a bulb. So I ordered a 20000K 175W bulb even though I don't need one. Maybe I should have ordered two.

I got an aromat electronic ballast for only $40.00 also, its for a 70 watt MH bulb.

are those bulbs not sunaquatic bulbs?
if they are not, they are the same kind under another name I believe

There is a guy there called Liv, he sold me one for $40, he said he had some more if you are interested, look for him on the forum there, he is a really good guy to deal with.

and the point is? they are 1/2 the price of what SA is charging for them.

Interesting how only the 70w and 400w bulbs are cheap. Regardless, it was only a matter of time before someone else found one of the many cheap electronics manufacturers in China able to make aquarium-spectrum halide bulbs.

All the bulbs from "arc lighting" seem to be for sale.. all I need is a MH setup for a reason to buy some.
