Marine Depotand they should price match but they will also include the price of shipping from the other company even if you want to pick up. Many companies charge a higher shipping rate to be able to offer lower prices up front.

Hey Greg, I was going to order from them today but they needed my phone order by 3pm in order for me to pick it up by 6pm. I was hoping to get the bulbs by the weekend.

regarding your pm. your mailbox is full.

Personally, I think the Iwasaki is the only choice. There is no 175 watt bulb that can even come close to comparison. It will be worth the wait

OK, I got the Iwasaki's in and have just turned them on. I got them from www.coralreefecosystems.com..it was the cheapest price I can find on these bulbs..all I can say is that I love these bulbs....they are a lot brighter than any other 175watt bulbs Ive used and the color reminds me of natural sunlight...sort of like Im snorkeling..its not yellow and not real blue...just white....just thought I'd let everyone know in case you considered getting these bulbs...

Hey mike, did you ever get around to setting up your nano? Or did you end up selling it off? Mine has been doing great and just started getting into some SPS a month or two ago heres a FTS.
