The phoenix 14k lamps seem very popular. That is what I will be trying next time I re-lamp.

You could get them from Ocean Aquatics, they are also a sponsor here. Unless you have a reason you need to order from J&L.

the club here is doing an order that will come in fri night.. so i figure i'd jump on that. free shipping and 5% tax :) can't go wrong.
