***********************************************************************
hi guys! if you live in the San Diego area and would like to join my annual Fuge Light group order, let me know!
(or have them shipped to Socali for +$4)

well here is my post:

************************************************************************
TCP PAR38 Reflector 19 Watt 5100K

so this is still the most popular refugium lightbulb by far, and i need a couple so i'm doing the annual group order again. i'm running this until Saturday (1/24/09) when i'm placing the order, so people can have the opportunity to chime in, unlike last year's with too many misses.

i need to know how many are interested so i can order #cases of 12's. (anticipating 36 units)

Payment:
-So the end unit cost for you comes down to $10 a bulb, vs the $20 if you buy just one.
-Please paypal me in advance: $10 + .61 (paypal fee) = $10.61
.......*Paypal fee calculator
.......*Paypal to tkh619@yahoo.com . please have your SDreef ID -&- phone# in "comments" so I can pm/call you when it comes.
-If you really DONT have paypal and must pay in cash at pick up, please pm me with your: name, phone#, SDreef ID, address, and written oath saying you will get it. i had several flakers last year, and it's a nuisance.
- Add $4 for shipped. (no insurance on light bulbs)



- If you participated in my group order last year, you should replace them by now because, yes they'll last for years, but it's recommended to replace them every 6 months for maximum chaeto growth according to melev. (link below)
- last year's group order (Feb 2008)
- Sorry mantis (michael), i missed your request on your post. This grouporder is my response.
- Picking up some Filter Socks on your way out wouldn't hurt. :lol:

i emailed Marc (melev; the author of the original bulb test) this morning, about whether he has any new recommendations or better bulbs since the post. this is his reply:

Hi Tom,
That's the one I use (TCP 5100K 19w) and continue to recommend to others. The company is very easy to work with, and the bulbs work great.
-Marc
