Didn't even know they make an SE bulb.

I think the SE version is a lot more rare then the DE version. I don't even know of a vendor who sells it in Canada.
I remember when they first came out they were $100+/- in the US (now they are around $75 US). Cheers, Vic

Marine Depot has both 175's & 250's
Premium Aquatics has the 175's You could probably ask PA if they can get the 250's because they ship USPS and MD does not. It would be awesome if a Canadian vendor had them though. Cheers, Vic

I don't know about looks side to side, but, SE bulbs 9 out of 10 times will give you more PAR and give better coverage.. If I have the choice between the two I will always go with a SE bulb id I have the space.

While I haven't used either bulb I agree with Steve.
Note as well that SE is halfway to SEXY. It'd be foolish to overlook that.

Hooray another SE vs DE argument!
Sanjay Joshi uses DE.  http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index....k-of-the-month Coming next week: 'Should I use T5 or MH?' followed by 'Which skimmer is best?'... lol and around and around we go.  Edit: I am actually quite curious about how these compare. My choice to stay with DE was highly influenced by these bulbs.
