Aquaconnect bulbs

bubbletip2 · 07/25/2006, 10:34 PM

Does anyone know where you can buy Aquaconnect bulbs? I can't seem to find them anywhere. I am particularly interested in the 250W 14000K SE bulb.

Does anyone have any real world experience on these bulbs?
They look great on paper and from a view of different bulbs shown on the same tank in a thread somewhere here on RC.

I'll give you a bump because I would like to know too.

they are great imo, great growth from acros, along with great color.

The phoenix bulb is supposedly the same, why not try that one?

twon8,

from what I have seen on paper, they look great. Do you actually own some and if so, where did you get them?

Anyone ever find the AC14k bulb? I'm looking for a bluer bulb than my reeflux 10k.

www.aquaristics.com has them. Around $145 ea.
No I don't have any real world exp. with them yet, but I have every intention to. Suppose to one of the best out if not the best!

By the way, they may have to back order them..

Just looked at their site, the 250w 14k is $119. they want you to pre order. It's the only place I've found that carries them. I looked for several days. The 145 is for the 400w.
