any idea how much the german run? what do you think about 250 W 10 K REEF AQUARIUM METAL HALIDE USHIO?

 

[bioreefer]

where did you find this for $325 and is this a 48" light i would like to have one!!

 

[calvindo]

wayne40, you can get them from ----. just do a search on "metal halide aquarium". The ones i'm getting is actually a 60", rather then 48", for the same price! I can give you their contact number, email me at calvin@spinsonic.com

isn't that a bit high considering it does not come with any metal halide bulbs?
Considering they are as much as 90 bucks each and all.
I am just curious. I actually got my 250 nad 175 watt second hand..maybe i got a better deal than i thought.

 

[calvindo]

not really... atleast not for a brand new set up. I searched to the end of the www, wasnt able to find anything under $550 for my particular set up.

 

[dzones]

oh ok cool. Good deal then. makes me feel even better than the deals i got.
thanks calvindo
just for my 2 cents worth...i really like the ushio 10k bulbs that came with mine.

 

[calvindo]

thanks! i'm looking at the same bulbs... found some on ---- for 60 bucks.
