I want to purchase a 10k Flouresent (FC) daylight bulb and an Antinic Blue FC bulb. I would like to know what you folks are paying for the 18" 15 watt version for those who buy them and use them.

I've been quoted anywhere between $16 to $25 dollars (US).
I'd also like to know if you can get 18" bulbs in a 20 or 30 watt size?

I'm just starting out (day 109), I don't want anyone breaking bulbs over my head about this. I've seen some people go nuts over lighting FC or FO vs CO (? compact) and VHO, along with MH (Metal Halide). Sometime I wonder, if there will ever be enough of a consensus for me to upgrade to a perferred type of lighting in the future.

Remember knowledge is a wonderful thing, what you teach me I tell 10 others that I heard it from you.

Does that make any sense?

Thanks

FC? Do you mean just a regular old standard fluorescent bulb? I bought a Marine Glo at Petco (15 watt, 18") actintic bulb for $14.99. At PetsMart, the Coralife bulbs run about $20.00 and up:( I think its nuts that they charge that much for a tiny bulb, when you can buy the 48" bulbs for a few dollars more. I think we need to start a petition, lol!:bum:
