Are there very many good 175w MH bulbs available? I found a guy selling 2 complete 175w pendants for $150 and would like to buy them, but not if its too hard to find bulbs. Most of what I can find online is 150 and 250. If anyone knows where I could find quality 175w bulbs please let me know.

where are you looking?
these and many more less known brands are all readily available:
XM 10k, 15k and 20k
Pheonix 14k
Ushio 10k, 14k and 20k
Reeflux 10k, 12k and 20k
Hamilton 10k,14k and 20k
Icecap 10k, 14k and 20k
Aqualine AB 13k
Iwasaki 15k
 
what brand would you recomend? I need new 250 watt. I have coralife bulbs now. Should I stay with that or does it make a big difference?

I'd switch them out. bulbs make a big difference. For whitish bulbs and growth I like the Aqualine 13k. Not really sure which blue bulb I like best but I know I like ushio and radium 20k. there are So many bulbs to chose from its hard to decide. I dont think I'll ever have the same bulbs twice.

the phoenix are available in SE now. Odd you favor the Iwasaki and Phoenix since they are so different spectrum wise.
