Mind sending me the link as well please. I'm Looking at trying out a 14-15K bulb and this would be a good way to see how they look. If they keep my coral happy..... all the much better.

I switched my Artemis for a Pheonix 14k and I regret it. My pink birdnest is dull now and it used to be bright candy pink. My maxi mini was at the bottom of the tank ans as soon as I put that new bulb it moved right at the top of the tank right underneat the MH. I thought that the Phoenix would be better and it is more blue in deed but it is not better and that thing cost me 75$!!! what a waste.

Next time I will return with the ebay bulb. I like the look of the Pheonix as it is much more blue than the ebay bulb but I do not like the amount of light it produce (not as bright) and the color it gives the coral, especially bird nest. My artemias was at 6 months old brighter than what the Phoenix is brand new! Except that the Artemias change color and was a bit more yellow after 6 months but the coral growth was still awesome.

I have been dealing with Hobby lights on Ebay for a couple years now for bulbs & have never been disappointed with them at all especially for the price. You could change them every 6 months & still be ahead of the game.

Took you long enough to see the light Rick, glad to see you finally loosened up the chaps :lol:

Do they sell an equivalent SE bulb? What type of ballasts are you guys running?

metal halites from hobby lights
 

looking for future suppllies 14000k 250 watts halide bulbs but only see 10000 k on website. am i missing something?

Yeah, glad I looked into it. Priced Right and like others said, I can change out every 6-8 months and still save alot of money.

I believe he does, will pm you the link for what I bought, you can check out his ebay store.

I would like to know also. Thanks

He has every type (10, 14, 20K) in different types of bulbs.

Go to EBay, search seller Hobby Lights Oneshop, I see lots of different k rating bulbs.
