Timbo3416 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I am moving to a set of 400W metal halide fixtures my my main DT, and I am looking for the best bulbs at the best price. I noticed on eBay there are SuperReef Vivid 12K FC2 double end bulbs for $35.70 a bulb. I understand the concept of getting what you pay for, but with MH bulbs Ihave not really seen any difference with my old 250W fixtures running expensive or cheaper bulbs. So has anyone used SuperReef bulbs or heard of someone that has?Please don't comment if you don't have any info on SuperReef Vivid bulbs - if you always use Hamilton or some other brand and it works for you great but that doesn't answer my question. There is a lot of FUD and folks overpaying based on misinformation out there and I want to cut through that and figure out if these will work or not. I hate to put that in there but it seems too many thread turn into fanboy flame contests and that is what I am trying to avoid.Thanks in advance!

FarmerTy Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I use the plusrites, 20k spectrum in the 400 watt bulb. $13/bulb at 1000bulbs.com. Best bang for your buck out there for MH. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Sorry I don't have any info on the SuperReef but figured you would want to know about the Plusrites because of their excellent price value.

FarmerTy Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 My old 125 before I upgraded. Was running 250-watt on this tank. Currently running 400 watt on my new tank once I upgraded to a deeper tank. Hope the info helps and ignore if it wasn't what you were looking for. Thanks.
