HE ACCEPTED! I'm so excited! My first MH's ! If I knew how to post pic's so you can see then I would. Thanks for all your help guys.

Question for you guys though. The guy selling them told me the MH bulbs & PC blue actinics are all Coralife bulbs? He told me he wasn't sure about if other bulbs that are compatible?

Where do you get Coralife MH bulbs? Any ideas prices?

The only place I have ever seen Coralife bulbs is Big Al's. They are horrendously expensive. That said, you don't need Coralife bulbs. Most bulbs should be fine. If the ballast runs 10000K now, it will run all 10000K bulbs.
I have a couple of 6500K Coralife bulbs that are six months old if you need them.
