hello again
 

hello,
wow... been away from here for a loooooooonnnnngggg time. Used to keep a
planted discus tank www.geocities.com/becon776
but then aquuired large reef tank and wow what a friggin headache!!! and
Money pit. Beautiful no doubt but!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Anyhow, marital issues and separation hence time to bring the old plant tank
back to where it was. get back to my roots so to speak ;) Couple of
questions....
#1 does dave gomberg still do bussiness? Looking for MgNO3. for pmdd....
is that phrase still used?

#2 I have two dbl bright NO fluorescent strips. needs bulbs. Where are
people getting their bulbs these days. Some time ago I used to be able to
get GE chroma 50's but can't seem to find them anymore... they were less $$
than the LFS bulbs. Any ideas. Maybe a new source I don't know about?

Have a good one.
Ben

Welcome back. And uh yeah I've tried sal****er too. They realy do just
"add a zero" to prices don't then. And all the bit and pieces. Yow.

Yup. Google APD archices, he's still active. check out gregwatson.com too.

They're still common as dirt around here in Canadian Tire. Home depot,
should have a 5000K tube as well. I think they sell Osram/Sylvania
tubes.

I got back into this last fall myself and in reading aorund on
what's up with fluorescents these days there's a pretty good
body of evidence to syggest cool white and warm white are
actually better than anyting else. Yeah, I'm stunned to,
so it's relaly a persona color preference with lights.

If you can find a store than handles Philips see if they can
order you some Aquarelles. 10K tube, very pretty white light.
GE makes an equiv called "fresh and salt water" that's 8000-something-K.

Tom Barr is big on Triton and warm white, I'm using grolux and daylight
cause that's what I have lying aorund.

The long compact fluorescents are pretty amazing too if you can find
them cheap, easy to do if you look for recycled home/office fittings.

Everything else is about the same. PLant availability is better than
at any time in history thanks to the net.
