Hi hi anyone on this thread still around? Just converted to MH (odyssea) and having difficulty sourcing for 159w DE bulbs. Most stockists don't carry already, since most reefers using LED nowadays. But I still believe in MH, but I don't like the colour rendition of my current bulb - it kills the pinK and blues in the tank. Appreciate any help...
