Yep that's right. Replaced some 250w halides today and now I'm offering the old bulbs for free to teachers before offering them to the landfill. Heck they probably have mercury in them anyways.

They are used. They fire perfectly. They are seriously intense white. My new Phoenix bulbs are not near as bright as these still are. Hopefully they will brighten as they burn in. So again that's 2x 250w 14K Phoenix metal halide bulbs. They have some miles but still have plenty of miles to go.

Free to teachers on a budget first. If no teachers want them I will consider giving them out fcfs. If no takers I will install them under my tank as fuge lights.

PS, if you don't like me, don't ask for them.

Prove your teacher status and they are yours in the order above. I think I know who that is.

Is it obvious that I used to giggle every time I saw that commercial?

sounds like a good cause. whoever proves they are a teacher and gets the bulbs also gets a free 55gallon tank from me (if they want it). I've used it as a sump which it works great for but could be used for something else, especially in the hands of a creative teacher I'm sure :) See pics below, it's drilled on the lower right hand side and comes with bulkhead and valve and couple pvc pieces. I also have a single baffle siliconed in right now that you can leave or take out as you wish. Just a little dirty is all...

Oh, to the original poster, if I shouldn't have jumped into your post I apologize and will remove this if you want. Was just trying to join in the spirit :)

All good with me.

Tater it is. Sorry other posters above him, but I did say teachers first.

Other Mike, I'm sure David will take your tank as well. If he says he wants it and is willing to pick it up from you, I'll drop the bulbs off with you.

That's fine.

DT- If you want it and you want to meet me in that same spot again this Sat. morning we can do that. If not I will probably give it to someone up here on the weekend.

Please let me know!

Mike and MIke that sounds good to me. Mike (Dozer) I can meet in the same spot. Caferacer Mike will Saturday work for you? I appriciate the gifts. The tanks at schhol thank you. My firebelly newts thank Dozer. They have been out hous hunting but they have bad credit and nobody would lend the money for a new house. There will be parties this weekend at Connally.

Oh Dozer what time at the clay place

Sat is bad for me. That's why I offered to take them to the tank. Mike could you PM me some details?
