I have 2 brand new only run for about 3 hours. German Ushio 10k Metal Halide Bulbs 250watt. I bought these from *************** a few weeks ago, I just setup my tank and want to go with something else due to color.
$65ea + shipping

Not to sway you from selling but, three hours isn't nearly enough time to see how these bulbs look. I have the same bulbs and there is a burn in period that you have to go through to get the true spectrum of the bulbs.
At first my Ushios looked quite yellow and now they are a beautiful crisp white.

I agree totally, but figured I would sell while still new. The thing is, I know they will get whiter...but right now they are too bright as it is. Also I had to go with 75 watt actinic instead of the 95 which I planned, I really like a blue tint and with the lower wattage bulbs I don't feel I will get the blue I wanted before.
