I need help finding 55w PC's
 

Hey,

I was using 2x55w PC's over my refugium but one burnt out and another one got broke by accident. Where can I get cheap replacement bulbs that will be good enough for growing macro?

What should I use meanwhile? I'm using a 20w tube right now and it looks pathetic. :lol:

I appreciate all help and suggestions. :mrgreen:

Edit* It says on the bulb:

Panasonic
FPL55E67
Made in Japan

Oh, and it's square pin.

These ones? or did you want something cheaper.

Ah, thanks Sam. I saw those too but 45$ for growing macro seemed steep. Is there any alternative?

Maybe I should just splurge. My refugium is really good at filtration. I probably shouldn't cheap out on the lighting for the macro. I will just run a single 55w PC and then have an extra ballast incase of failure.

Is there benifits of having lots of diversity in macro? I just have grape caulerpa in there. I want some of that caulerpa that looks like a feather, anyone got any?

Hey Jack i have 1 55watt PC bulb 10K that i have never used. Id give it up for $ 35 its brand new.


Are you coming across to the lower mainland anytime soon?
