Old bulbs to give away

[jlinzmaier]

I have three Geisemann Megachrome "coral" 14.5K 400 watt SE bulbs. They are old and I've been holding onto them in case anyone wanted one to see what they looked like over their tank. I had forgotten about them and now I've finally gotten around to cleaning up some of my fish stuff and thought I'd post this up to see if anyone is interested. They're a year old and don't have any useful life in them but they would at least give you a look at their color to see if you wanted to buy some new ones. If you wanted to stop by and pick one up that would be fine otherwise I can ship them to you if you pay the shipping. I have a total of three.

The geisemann megachomes are very intense bulbs and are at the top of the list in intensity with a PPFD of around 200 depending on the ballast used (per Sanjay's light review). Manhattan Reefs - Sanjay's Lighting Guide

The Geisemann 14.5K has a CCRT of about 10,000 (depending on ballast used) and they are all of that. If your looking for a 15K looking bulb these aren't it. They truly reflect near a 10,000 CCRT thus making them look as a 10K bulb would.

Let me know if your interested.

I've now got three 400 watt 20K radiums if anyone is interested in trying them out to see their color. I ran them for 10 months on HQI ballasts and they're pretty burned out but they'll still give you a good idea of what radiums would look like over your tank. If interested the only cost is shipping.
