Hellolights,

Just would like to thank you for supporting and sponsoring our club www.smmas.org. I just purchased 6 bulbs from you and I can not wait to get them.

Purchased 2 150 watt metal halid hqi double ended 20k
purchased 4 65 watt duel true blue/ actinic power compacts


I am upgrading my current 1 year old halid bulbs from the 10k to the 20k. One of our club members has a 10k on one side of tank and a 20k on the side, and the 20k is so much better. I like the blue color spectrum and the corals seem to do so much better on that side of the tank.


1 ? how long do you think it will take for the package to get to maryland? ordered last night, ups ground i believe is your shipping

thank you for the continued support and services.

Hey kjord97,

Most of us here in the office like 20K MH lamps more as well. It’s tough to beat the color they produce.

To answer your question, your order will ship today for sure. If you selected UPS ground you should be looking for it on next Thursday. When it leaves our facility today you will receive an email with tracking information so you can follow its progress.

Tell the club members we said hi!

HL

Hellolights,


Thank you for the shipment, everything was packed very nice and everything is installed in the tank, working 100%.

I will say upgrading from 10k to 20k metal halid bulbs is a big difference in the amount of BLUE. Makes the corals really stand out and the fish are alot brighter. Also i believe changing the actinics to a true blue combo put alot more BLUE into the tank. I think it is more blue than some may like, but I am adjusting to it nice.

T-Shirt is very nice, and crap i missed out on the free thermometer.

I'm glad you like the new lamps. Switching from 10 to 20k can take some getting used to but its gonna look great.
