[NaCl_H2O]

AA on Bandera carries VHO's, I just bought a couple of 72" the other day, no shipping ;)

[kjswift]

thanks joshua, but i need 60". i cant fit 72" in my canopy.

[GaryP]

He was talking about shipping Keith. They all can go in the same box. I might want in on the order but can't do it for a couple of weeks. I need 72" and 46.5"

Gary

[kjswift]

oh, thats even better then! i can wait for you gary im in no rush. thats 5 with joshua. if no one else wants in ill just buy another one. how about ordering november 1. thanks

[GaryP]

I'll need 6 bulbs Keith. 2 X 72" and 4 X 46.5".

Gary

[JimD]

Is this still happening??? I need three 36" VHO super actinics...

[GaryP]

Jim,

I think I'm the one holding it up for another week or so becuase I am "financially challenged" at the moment. The joys of working a commission sales job. Its always either feast or famine. I should be ready to go next week. I was going to give Keith the go ahead next Wed.

Gary

[JimD]

Ok, cool, Ill be waiting for the green flag, thanks for the update...

[Sherri]

Is this order still working? I need 2 VHO's...if so...where is it coming from?

Thanks

[GaryP]

Keith was looking at marine depot.com. We need to compare prices with Champion and Hello lights.

Gary

[alexwolf]

i need 2 72" actinics too

[GaryP]

OK, here's what I have so far:

Kjswift: 1 60"

Joshua: 2 72"

GaryP: 2 60" actinic
2 46.5" actinic
2 46.5" white

JimD: 2 36" actinic

Sherri: 2 ?

Alex: 2 72" actinic

That's a total of 16 bulbs. I think we have it covered. I took a look at marine depot's pricing and their prices look to be the same as Champion's and cheaper than Hello's. That is unless Joshua can get us a better price.
Champion claims to match any price, I wonder if that includes shipping deals.

Gary

[Sherri]

I need:

1 ea. 48" 110W White Actinic 50/50 URI (Hellolight #12-40-ATW-V)
1 ea. 48" 110W Super Actinic Blue URI (Hellolight #10-40-03-V)

I gave Hellolight #'s in case you get them from them...

[GaryP]

OK, here's what I have so far:

Kjswift: 1 60"

Joshua: 2 72"

GaryP: 2 60" actinic
2 46.5" actinic
2 46.5" white

JimD: 2 36" actinic

Sherri: 1 48" 50/50
1 48" actinic

Alex: 2 72" actinic

[GaryP]

OK, I'm ready to go on this order. I guess we will need all the details of exactly what bulbs everyone else needs. We're missing some details. Please see my previous post and provide the details if you are still in on the order.

Joshua, are you still interested in ordering from URI?

Gary

[Sherri]

I'm still in for the same bulbs posted...thanks Gary...

[JimD]

Ya know what? I think Im gonna be going 400W DE/T5 actinics soon so I think Im gonna hold off on the bulbs for right now. Sorry for any inconvenience... Carry on....

[GaryP]

Jim,

My understanding is that you can't get 420 nm actinic from T5's, that's the advantage of the VHO's. Check out their spectrum. Just a head's up.

Gary

[JimD]

Hmmmm, Ill definately have to investigate that. I visited with Tim the other day and checked out his new T5's actincs, they "appeared" similar to my VHO's in color, course mine are like three years old so that may have been why.. lol

[alexwolf]

any word on this order yet?

[Sherri]

Was wondering same thing... :D

[kjswift]

gary, what did fin-addict say about price matching marine depot?

[GaryP]

I never got a response from them. I can give them a call tomorrow.

Gary

[alexwolf]

Champion has good prices too, the 72" i need are $29 there and at Marine Depot

[BIGBIRD123]

What happened to this thread? I was late deciding and thought I'd missed out but then no replys. Is this still alive and can I get in on the order? If so, I need a 48" 110w Super Actinic. Let me know.

I just talked with www.captivereefs.com about URI bulbs and they said that they would give us a 6% discount on any order. He said on bulbs that there is very little mark-up, so the 6% was the best he could do. He did say that if I could send him a quantity amount of the bulbs we wanted, he'd see what he could do on the shipping. If any one would like, I could try and put this order together and see what we could get these for. The thing that impressed me about these guys is that he replied within an hour each time I emailed him. You guys let me know.

Here's their prices:
36" act 95w--$19.99
36" 50/50 95w--$22.99
48" Super act 110w--$20.99
46.5" actr 110w--$21.99
46.5 wht act 110w--$23.99
60" act 140w--$31.99
72" Super act 160w--$36.99
all plus our 6% off...

I just paid $32.00 for a 48" S. act @ Austin Aquariums...

[GaryP]

I'm still in for 6 bulbs but don't have the time to organize the order.

KJ, you still want to do the order?

Gary

[BIGBIRD123]

I need 1 48" and would be glad take care of this. I would also consider bring the order to SA for some sps frags and I live in Lampasas. Let me know.

[GaryP]

Gary

[Sherri]

[alexwolf]

[Sherri]

[alexwolf]
