So you decided to go with..
So you decided to go with the Hammies instead of the Radium 20ks. I saw them for $82 online. Thats pretty good! Later Ryan

Haven't made up my mind yet. Just looking around to see what else is out there and where. I know Joel and Miles have Ham.14k's and Randy uses 20k Radiums and I like what I have seen so it's not making this any easier!

most LFS around here use PFO and they don't carry hamilton. sounds like you need to go online.

Lowman--O.K.
I got ahold of Upscales and they can get them in(Hamiltons) and they did have a couple of 175w and 250w bulbs but no 400's. Bob said they run about $90-$95 each.
May have to get my bulbs on-line(either Hammies or Radiums), I hate to say that but with the free-shiping option, they are cheaper than picking them up local. Which is what I like to do, (support LFS), but I may have to order these.

Hey Mike and Bob, I might jump on the band wagon with you guys. It's time to change my bulb as well. 400w 20k.
Mike, the digi and the polyps are doing great. Bob the tank got a good clean down, and I am going to be building the stand soon.

Well I'm 99.9% sure I'm going to get Radiums and I'll be getting them soon.
So if you wanted to get something too, let me know how you want to work this out.

Yeah, I do agree with you, Dale is a little high on most of his prices. He just doesn't know how much things go for up in Portland. He is really chill for a boss. I like working for him. Now we are trying to make the display tank SPS ready. We are going to add more flow, add a surge, and 525 watts of metal halides as well. Can't wait. He's behind the curve on corals, but not as bad as Roger up there. I won't even buy anything that has even touched his tanks. EEEEWWWWUUUU. Come on down, I'll be working there today from 12-5.
