Aquaflora bulbs-Where? - Lighting

DonaldmBoyer · 05-25-2008, 01:03 PM

Hi Everybody!

Does anyone know where I could get some Aquaflora bulbs? I am having a devil of a time finding them; I have discovered plenty of the Middays, which I will also need, but none of the Aquaflora Giesemann's.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!
Don

I've not been able to locate them through any US dealers. I did find them at a Canadian dealer who's name currently escapes me. The bulb was around $25 with shipping costing about that much also.

So, that is the price of the bulb and shipping PER BULB!! Or, is it the price of the bulb, and shipping would cover more than one bulb, Jeff?

Sorry, I guess that was confusing. I only inquired about one bulb and the price of the bulb was approx $25 and shipping for that bulb would be an additional $20 or so. I don't know what it would be for multiple bulbs.

I've read of couple of posts on TPT about the Hagen Power Glo T5. It's an 18.000k bulb, but according to the the people that tried them,
they highlight reds very well and were good for growth. So I'm thinking about picking one up this week and seeing how it does.

Jeff--

THanks for the info, buddy! If you can remember the name of the Canadian place that carries them, I would sure appreciate it!

Jeff--

I meant to say thank you for finding that for me, pal! I was busy flying to Boston, and had a very slow Internet connection yesterday!

So, Jeff: YOU ROCK!!! Thank you very much!!

I've read that DD Aquariums is the company that buys them from Canada and labels them as their own and they are cheaper than buying them from J&L Aquatics.

Don, buddy, did you decide to order the Aquaflora bulbs? I'd love to hear a review from someone who has them.

Hi Jeff!

No, not yet. I will be ordering them shortly. They are for a new 4x4x20"H tank I am having made at the moment. It will be late Summer before it is all set up. I just needed information as to where to order them from is all.

I will be happy to review them in a few months after it has been set up and running for a little while.....thanks again for your help, mister!
