    They are Pulsrite and I was thinking $10/bulb. Are going to make the "coast to coast" trip to fallfest? I doubt I could ship them to you and have them arrive in 1 piece!

    ouch, right now I am running pulsrite 14k's and that is why I was looking for new ones. I guess my 1st time tring these bulbs is just bad luck on my part. I went from XM 20K to these and after a couple months with them my corals are looking horriable.

    I am actually hopeing to make fallfest as I missed macna due to the wife in the hospital.

    lol...then I guess you aren't interested in those. My corals did fine under them I just didn't like the color in combination with the 320W of T5 actinic I have on the tank- just too blue for my taste so I went with 10K bulbs and like that color combination better.

    no sorry I will have to pass, I bought 4 of them and 2 of them burned out in less than 2 monthes, I will admit I do like the color of them but just don't like how my corals react to them as nothing else changed except for the bulbs and was hoping to try diff. set to see if that is the problem.
