Can anyone recomend a source for P.C. lamps, other than Coralife. The "usual" on line suppliers are all Coralife... :sad: .
AH Supply is an option, but it's "States-side"... :sad:

TIA

Yup. I got a 96w Panasonic 10000k from Jack @ OA & boy is it bright. My clams love it :biggrin: Seahorses, not so much :cool: They now hide in the cave or under my 14" LTA :eek:

They can also order in German bulbs at very good prices. (& I'm not just posting this because I work there P/t either.) :lol: Like Willow said, check out the website.

Alan, I am running 13w, 33w, & 55w, on various tanks. My primary need right now is 55w. 10K, Actinic, & 50/50's. Straight pin on the 33's & 55's.
I've used Coralifes for years, they're o.k. I'd like to experiment with others. I think there's room for improvement... :confused:
