I'll try to tackle these, but like I told Alan hey don't listen to me I don't know what I'm talking about!

What is a German bulb as opposed to domestic.

Good question and I don't really know the answer. It seems to me that there are a handful of brands out of Germany that are regarded favorably and simply referred to as "German." Then there are bulbs that are supposedly made in Germany but resold in North America under a North American brand name stamped onto the bulb. My 175's are "10,000K German" but they a Hamilton stamp on them.

Can I use one in my pendant?

Yep. 175W is 175W...

Where do I get the best deal??

Well I have to say the bulbs I got from Saltwaterconnection I have been VERY happy with (as with my corals and anemones have grown substancially under these lights over the ones I had previous). Give him a call maybe...
