Ive heard alot of good things about these bulbs http://stores.shop.ebay.ca/Hobby-Lights-Oneshop__W0QQ_armrsZ1 They are cheaper than any other MH bulb out there and have gotten great reveiws. Somebody on another forum did a whole wright up on these with a par meter and such. If you need a link to that Lmk I dont want to post a link to another forum here( I dont think Im allowed)

I usually surf the net, find the cheapest priced ones I want, and then I contact the guys are www.PremiumAquatics.com. They always match the price, and sometimes even go below.

sorry for the late response but No I havent used them cause I dont have MH lol But alot of people on another forum are using them and love 'em. I figured it couldnt hurt at 10 bucks a bulb with 10 shippin:thrash:

has anyone tried the Elos bulbs yet? I've only seen them for sale at Marinedepot

Man after all this I had to purchase the phoenix 150w 14k bulb and it was $56 and some change. I'm trying to sell the 20" sunpod fixture I have for $180 or so, the bulb is just too much $! I'm thinking of going with the nova extreme pro..

Good luck. Not to be negative, but the Sunpod I had wouldn't sell even at the 125 price point a few months ago.

FWIW, the T-5 bulbs are cheaper each (at about $20) but you have to buy 6 of them, so the bulbs end up costing more.

wow! your right ... but is t-5 better ?
