I was going to suggest the same. If youre going to the meet on Sat, BRK isnt too far from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extreme_tooth_decay April 3, 2008 Share April 3, 2008 (edited) Tropical Lagoon (bet no one has heard of this little "jewel") who had them but wanted $38 a bulb I've heard of them...I actually like them when that giant bird isn't sqwaking, biting and crapping on me. Same comment applies to F&F. I'd try That Fish Place if I were you. Even with shipping, it might be worth it.

Highland Reefer April 3, 2008 Share April 3, 2008 (edited) Tropical Lagoon (bet no one has heard of this little "jewel") who had them but wanted $38 a bulb. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- They are actually about the oldest Aqaurium store in the area. I got my first 10 gal freshwater aquarium setup used from them. Have you tried Showcase Aquarium in the Wheaton Triangle Shopping Center? (301) 942-6464. Tropical Fish World in Gaithersburg: (301) 921-0000. I can't think of anyone else in the area. Edited April 3, 2008 by Highland Reefer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesprite April 3, 2008 Share April 3, 2008 I went to Tropical Lagoon once 11 years ago, and then learned that TFW just a hop down the road gives a 50% credit on saltwater fish for a week (maybe it's 5 days... not sure anymore). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoutlaw April 4, 2008 Share April 4, 2008 Brk is 1 hour and 15-25 mins for me to get out there. So how much grief would it solve. Bring your girl with you and pick up your bulbs (and probably a few fish and supplies) and your worries are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quazi April 5, 2008 Share April 5, 2008 (edited) Not to knock BRK or any LFS... but... Just order them from Hellolights.com. Good prices and excellent shipping on 4 ft bulbs. If you were near a LFS that has them, that would be the way to go. However, with gas @ $3.50/gallon, you are better off paying the $7.50 for shipping a $24.00 bulb than driving 60 miles and using 3 gallons ($10.50) of gas. Not to mention time. Believe me, if you go to BRK, you are going to buy more than the bulb It will be an expensive trip. But, you will be a happy reefer!
