Seeing prices of $71 for a 250W or 400W bulb. Remembering the days of paying $100 + per bulb.

his corals have grown in so much it's filled his tank to a point that he'll need more than a dozen ph's to give it the flow it needs. Needs bigger tank ... another solution would be to DBTC more... ;)

I think his whole tank is pretty much in DBTC.

Yes Gresham I'm half heartedly looking for a 150, although I really want external overflows, eurobracing, and beveled corners, that really limits my options :D. I'll probably have Gen make me one in about 100 years when I'm not totally, completely, and absolutely broke ;D

AFA DBTC, wait for the stats Jeff ;), I've done my part, now my corals are full colonies and I'm keeping some of them that way (unless of course you kalk reactor goes crazy and nukes your tank, then you get a limb or two).

just kidding man... you already totally hooked me up. I'm good. It's my turn to grow out all this SPS i've got now and feed the DBTC.

I know you're kidding, there are many running jokes about me not being able to give my coral away :D

hope the price keeps dropping. i'd like to see $65 per bulb. i think thats reasonable for a bulb with a short lifespan

Short lifespan? Maybe if you are overdriving them but my experience is that they have very long lives.
