MattGecko Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Are the Catalina 70 Watt HQI bulbs safe to buy from http://www.petsupplyliquidator.com? Did the defective bulb issue ever get resolved? If not where's the next cheapest place to buy a 10k or 20k bulb? Thanks Matt Link to comment
AbSoluTc Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 No. Stick with the Catalina 20k's or get the Ushio (50 sum odd bux) from PSL. No prolbems with either of them so far and both of mine were from PSL. Have fun! Link to comment
MattGecko Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 Hey Abs, Wheres the cheapest place to buy the 20K Catalina? Do reefs prefer the 20K over the 10K? Link to comment
AbSoluTc Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 The 20k is, in my opinion - a nice bulb. It is bluer. Do reefers prefer that over a 10k? Its personal preference. The cheapest place I know of is PSL. I got mine on ebay through PSL for 30 bux or so. So give them a ring and ask them about it. Should be able to help you. Link to comment

MattGecko Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 Cool thanks guys. Link to comment
LoneWolf02 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 In my opinion the 20k Catalina's are very dull . and the 10k don't work. I have been using 10k USHIO's . two 150 hqi's with two 55 watt 17000k blues looks great. 30 inch long tank about 19 gal tank Link to comment
