Radium bulbs

[Aquattro]

Anyone know where to order 400w radium bulbs from, other than J&L? They're back ordered, and I need one kinda quickly. thx

I just got 3 of them in from Red Coral in Calgary they had to order them but it only took about a week. If your in a real bind i have not installed them yet and could send you one of these until they can get more in as i can wait. Let me know.

Thanks Keith, I may take you up on that. I'll just reconfirm with J&L on how long it will be, it sounded like a couple or so weeks. I'll PM you shortly

400w?? Wish I knew that yesterday, Christy was in Nanaimo all day How old are they? Japarto gave me some used ones a while back, but they've got to be over 2yrs, they're yellow!!

oh nuts, no they'er only 250s, sorry didn't see that part. don't you have those funky switchy ballasts though? I think they have about 9 months on them

Ya, but any difference in the missing bulb throws off the color on the other 2. I have a 14k (2yrs old) in there now, and the tank looks like crud. And getting some diatom growth on that side.

I also have some old 400 watt 20 k bulbs that i can send you for nothing if you want to get you by. They are only about 10 months old cannot recall what brand. I know i have some giesmann ones that i got with my first lights as well as other brands. Just let me know and if i can help i will ship them your way.
