advice wanted

I need two 250 watt HQI sockets. Does anyone know where I could pick a couple up? I'm upgrading from 150's to 250's and learned today(when my ushios showed up) that the bulb length and socket is different. I was originally under the impression that all HQI's were the same size but...</em> any "points in the right direction" would be great!

thanks

These are a Sunlight Supply product, so I know Tim at Keen Reef could order them in for you as well.

Also, do an ebay search under "hqi socket," and you'll get several listing for them as well.

I got mine at aquacave.com....I don't know any LFS near peachtree city....or I'd say go to them first...

locally, you can probably find them at an electrical supply house (like Graybar or Mayer)..

they shouldnt be expensive at all... (less than $7)
