Yeah. I think they go for $65 each at J&L.
Check out the other retailers' websites.

Its a good deal if you like the colour of Coralife bulbs. I have one and found it a bit yellow. I have switched to a Gieseman bulb, and have found it to be a world of difference. However, they are more than twice the money.

Hey Bob,

What do you mean yellow.

To my eyes it was yellowish. This was a six month old bulb, but if you like it, don't take what I feel as gospel. Gieseman bulbs are available from J&L.

Very good deal - I just paid $60 each! I like them, I don't see them as yellow - more on the blue end, but maybe that's me.

It is all how your eyes see things. In my case there was another tank with a 50/50 bulb next to the tank with the Coralife bulb. That was probably why it looked yellowish.

Oops - maybe I confused things . . . the ones I bought are 50/50 . . . I should learn to read!
