Glad to hear the colt/frag are doing well

Haven't really needed to look for new bulbs yet but that is a good point.
I had a quick look and the first place I found was http://www.vmarine.com/aquariadepot/...roup.asp?g=310 probably should look around some more though and find them cheaper.

Ross, Bob, I've decided to keep the second fixture for my one tank so if you're interested in doing a group order for some bulbs in a couple months when I've saved up and mabe we could get the cost down on them.

Default bulb

I actually have come to the same conclusion. Isent a not to Jl to see if they have it or can get it. I have seen the bulb else where for rather shocking prices. I'll keep looking.

How shocking are the prices? Did we make a mistake buying that light I wonder?

Default shocking

I have found some cheap medium base 175W 4.5K bulbs, and lots of 5.5K that seem reasonable. I think that overall it will be a good thing...

so foar the coralife are 119 US, but I have found some german medium base 10k for 89.00 USD. i'll keep you posted.

I guess it would be important to find out if any medium base bulb works, or if a Coralife bulb is required. One of you two guys must have the specs. Evan for sure because he bought the system new. As I said in my email to you Champion Lighting has a bulb for $109.90 US :?
