    I saw visited this site earlier. The other sites wrer $10-$20 cheaper on the Ushio's, and AB's. Maybe that's why they're on back order.

    Probably. What brand/kelvin are you looking for?
    Maybe I can find it elsewhere.

    Good choice. That is what I had on my tank in the 'my reef' section. Still have it. Going to use it for backup on the greenhouse tank.

    I bit the bullet and ordered them from Champion. Won't know if they have them in stock until order is confirmed.

    Sweet!
    By the way, the 3 cords are so you can have them on 3 timers. Not so clean, but useful.

    What size tank do you have xabo?

    xabo did they get back to you? Are they in stock?

    I read online that USHIO themselves are out of the 250 watt bulbs!!!

    I have a 125. They sent a E-mail saying the bulbs will be here in 7-10 days. Can't seem to get a tracking no. though. I read the other day that Ushio is out also.
