Fielding Interest on GB on T5 HO Bulbs

[klam114]

Is there interest if we did a Group Buy for replacement T5 HO Bulbs? I'm needing 4 bulbs, then thought maybe we can get a better break if there's a GB? Just checking on interest before I ask about any details on pricing, etc. K

Where do you order your T5 bulbs btw? GB sounds good.

I would be ordering mine from KM Associates Int'l in San Francisco and they are an authorized dealer for ReefGeek. So, anything ReefGeek has available in terms of bulbs, we can probably include if we do a GB. I was told we need a minimum of 25 bulbs before the GB's pricing will start to be discounted, not sure on the MH bulbs if we threw that into the loop.

Good to know...thanks.

I'm in if it goes through. I could use 4-8 bulbs depending on price.

Damm.. just after I bought 9 bulbs from reefgeek..

I am interested in a few probably. Might as well get some more I guess.

How's these for possible pricing?
Is this interesting enough to start a Group Buy?

For MH bulbs, we need at least 12 of the exact same bulb
before there's really any price break. Ed says that if
anyone wanted to add MH bulbs to the GB, he could include
sales tax and shipping at ReefGeek's website price.

anybody try the uvl bulbs?

[klam114]

The UVL Atinic is suppose to be very close to the VHO Atinic. I never had VHO, so can't compare. The color visually looks more lavendar than Blue like the ATi BluePlus.

I think we only need 6 people ordering 4 bulbs each to qualify for a GB break. Are these prices good, anyone know of a cheaper place to buy them?

Do they have 39 watts bulbs? I looked at your list and it only shows 54 watts. I have a 36 inches Tek Light fixture and I would be interested in purchasing some bulbs. =)

[delsol650]

They should if they carry the same as reefgeek right ?

[klam114]

Prices are sample prices for 54W. We need 25 of the same size to price bring down to the GB break. They have 24W, 39W, 54W and 80W.

Hellolights has $10 a bulb sale on TRU T5 Lamps.
10k and actinics

[klam114]

Thanks, I never heard of TRU brand?

[klam114]

Since there's no real interest in T5 bulbs, there won't be any coordination of a GB. If anyone wants to just save on shipping & sales tax, I'm placing my order Tuesday with KM Associates Int'l and you're more than welcome to tag along on my order.
