Needs to buy some MHO bulbs

Anyone know of a good site to get some MHO bulbs and is not aquatraders?

Short story
I bought some bulb from aquatraders a few weeks back, the bulb that was sent to me was no good (MHO bulb its self was black and the outer ends had an white hard build up of some kind and the t5 all had something moving within. clearly no good). Contacted aquatraders told them about it they sent me a RMA to send it back. I also informed them that I just wanted an exchange because I always do business with them and this is the first time something like this happened. They told me after they test it and if it doesn’t work they will exchange it. Well I got a PayPal credit back for the price of the bulb minus restocking and shipping. None-less-to-say I was pissed; I emailed them last wk Tue and haven’t heard anything back from them.

Present day
so I need a new site that has good prices bulb

Hello,

All the bulbs we shipped are brand new. The slightly yellowish clear coating inside the HQI bulb is normal when it is brand new, otherwise, you will see a sign of firing and turn black inside. For T5 bulbs, it's white at the both end of the bulb, otherwise, it would show black marking as well. Since you complained that the bulbs "look" use, but the fact is that they are all brand new, therefore, we refunded the item price minus restocking fee.
