Bump

Fairly new and just picked up two MH 150 HQI systems. I want to replace the bulbs and would like opinions on the best brands of bulbs available. Do I want a name brand or will anything do

I asked the same question awhile ago and the reply I got was the bulbs could explode. I dont know for sure but thats what i was told. i was thinking of trying it but chickened out.

Firedog they no longer carry the 14000k(actually 15000k) and Drewsta my system came with 20000k. They are quite blue but i purchased my replacements I got a set of the 10000 k also and they are bright white. I went back to the 20000 as they look allot better.

What are the games

Just a thought before you order, If you go with the 175 watt Odyssea, they have HQI bulbs and are almost impossible to find replacement, then when you find them they can only be found in 10000 and 20000( nothing inbetween). They work great but Id order the 150 or the 250s so you have a choice of...

Very limited isnt the word, The only ones I can find are made by the manufacturer of my lights, Thank god they decided to carry replacement bulbs or I dont think I ever would have found them. Thanks for the responce, I appreciate it.

Ok, It came with 175 HQI bulbs so I know it works with them. Why do only Odyssea make a 175 HQI. I went thru hell trying to find bulbs for it today and the ones it came with are 20000k(quite blue). I have found replacement 10000 and 20000 today. But I was thinking of trying 15000 (somewhere in...

I have MH 175 ballasts and need some info on what bulbs will work with them. Can I use 150 watt bulbs and what would be the results, and can I use 250 watt bulbs and what are the results. Someone told me I could use the 150s with no problem but that i couldnt use the 250s, is that correct. Im...

Thanks but I found them I tell you what, Its hard finding 175HQI bulbs!!

Ok I need replacement bulbs for two Jebo Metal halide systems that came with 175 double ended 20000k bulbs, I have found 175 - 10000k but for the life of me cannot find anywhere to purchase replacement double ended 175 - 20000k bulbs. I really dont like the brighter look of the 10000 k bulbs ...

Im definitely interested and sent you a email, whats the size of the fixture and shipping charge to south carolina

It looks like ick. Im not completely new but its been about 15 years since I messed with a tank. I thought it was Ich at first because that is exactly what it looks like, till I seen the critters on the glass. and on the fish. They are so small and look like ich on the fish because you cant see...

Im relatively new and thought I might have a case of ick. It is wierd because its everywhere. Floating thru tank, on the glass, and fish. I mean that it looks as if the glass has ick but you can see it move on the glass. After I seen the thousands on the glass Im confused as what to do. Ive read...
