Yeah I think those are the ones. Glad to hear you are happy. Too bad about your ballast problem. Do you mind telling me what the total cost was? I think I will be getting a couple myself.

Thanks

Got my bulbs today (2 175w 14000k). Took about a week to get here. When looking at the ebay page for lights64 I found a 1-800 number I just call em up and placed an order. My tank is not up and running yet but I did try out the bulbs and I think they look great. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

Mine showed up in about a week from placing my order. They didn't come right to my door I had to pick them up from the nearest Canada Post outlet. I think they look great, bright and just the right amount of blue. I do not have a lot of experience but as far as I can tell they are just what I need.

Yep if you're not there with cash in hand (exact change no less) for the duties, you're stuck visiting the depot...

Mine were in the 2 week ballpark, but I remember watching tracking show them sit in customs for 4 days (So basically half the time - given 5 working days in a week).
