I am looking for a 400w 12 k reflux DE. I usually just google it until I can't find anything lower.

I have a 400w hamilton DE 14k never used. It actually came in the mail a few days ago. I have 3 lamps one I will keep the 14k hamilton, the other I want to try a 12k 400w reflux. Not sure which wattage you are looking for or if you want to try a hamilton but I am willing to sell it.

What city are you in? How far do are you willing to drive? Just trying to figure out what part of the Chicagoland area would be local.

im in Aurora. I really don't want to drive more then 30 min or so. Can anyone recommend a bulb. I have a 150 watt sunpod on my 29 gallon. It has the stock bulb which i think is 14k. I was thinking Phoenix 14K but if there is a bulb that you guys would think i would like better. I would like something with a nice blue to it. But i want good coral growth as well.

I believe Reeflux has a 150 watt, DE, 12K bulb. Seems to be the replacement for the Phoenix 14K.
