Original thread

Happy Reefing MH Bulbs
I've never noticed them for sale in Canada...does anyone carry them? Looking particularly for the 250w 14000K DE.

I believe reading on RC that the brand is now defunct.

Bah!!! Of course...because that's the bulb I want. Pfff!

The options for 250w DE bulbs (with good PAR on an electronic ballast) are very slim. The AquaConnect look good on paper, but $140 per bulb!

Get a phoenix, it's basically the same as AC but cheaper

True, AC bulbs are expensive, but I justify them by figuring they will last me 12 months. That comes out to less than $12 a month.. what else in this hobby is that inexpensive?

I have the SE ones, I don't think I would buy them again. They're too bright for my corals, lol

If you want the AC's why not get the Phoenix bulbs for a lot cheaper but similar specs?

Cheers.
