Back in December, I switched over to Reeflux 10k bulbs on my tank and don't plan on going back. So, I have several lightly-used 20k bulbs for sale. Here's the breakdown:

3 each of XM 20k, 6 mnths use @ 7 hours/day $30 each
1 each of XM 20k, maybe 2 weeks use $45
1 each EVC 20k, 2 weeks use $35

If someone was interested in all the bulbs, I'd let them go for $140 for the lot.

Dang it Dave. I just bought new XM bulbs like 2 days ago!

What's an EVC bulb?

How are the Reeflux 10Ks working for ya? I guess pretty well. Do you have actinic supplements besides your halides? Just curious.

EVC is just another mfgr. and Sanjay's mfgr. of choice. I do like the Reeflux, but the PAR is pretty lousy for a 10k bulb on my ballasts. The colors are perfect w/o actinics, IMO. I have a solution for the PAR issue, though. I just got sick of looking at a blue tank all the time.

OK, I went back. Couldn't stand the look of 10k w/ 1 20k bulb mixed in. So now I have 2 10k Reeflux bulbs w/ 4-1/2 months of use on them I'd be willing to let go for the same price as the 6 mnth old XM 20k is anyone's interested.

You went back to 20Ks?
