Looking for a 175w bulb...

[Fishtails]

Hey CR,

Anyone in the area have a used 175w bulb they'd sell for a decent price? If so get at me.

Thanks,
Alex

Dont think anyone in the club uses 175 screw in bulbs.

175 Watt - MH Lamps they appear to start around 59$ which isn't a bad price at all. Used bulbs are going to be off spectrum and the PAR ratings will decreased.

A new bulb is probably best.

I've got a couple actually. They have about 5 months use on them. I changed from 10K to 14K recently.

Would you be willing to part with one or both Sailfin?

Let me look at them and make sure they work.

Mine appear to be fine. It is a Ushio 10K used about 5 months. I live in Clevegas though. I don't know if I could meet you before you go to work.

Be careful about using a cracked bulb. They can crack and work, but the actual glass provides a layer that keeps harmful UV rays from hurting your stock. A guy in ATL lost tons of coral on one side of his tank due to a cracked bulb.
