    Excellent. They will come well packaged. Think evil Christmas wrapping.

    HAHA Yes. I just found a bulb I ordered from them a LONG time ago and never opened. I just opened it and found myself attacking the heck out of it. It was a little irritating, but wonderful, because the bulb was in great shape :)


    I don't like it...it's not bright enough. It's really blue. Doesn't show off the coral well. Just don't like it. lol

    Question: How many bulbs should I replace at a time, and how long should I wait between replacing them? Thanks! :)

    Replace one bulb every 3 or 4 days. Start with actinics then blues then whites.
