I am looking for DIY parts to set up a 250 MH DE. So used bulbs, reflectors, bulb holders ect. I would also be interested in a used 250 SE bulb and reflector if I can't find DE stuff!

Tim, Sounds like your heading down the road I took. So far the 250 DE has been good , But the Purple coloration on Efflo has some what faded. I has been only a couple of weeks using the 250 DE, I am sure that the coral is just adjusting to the ne lighting setup. I need to give it more time To be able to tell if the DE setup is better than my SE setup.

Ummm... which lamp are you using?

The SE bulb was a 20k Radium. the DE bulb is a 20k AB. I noticed that the AB is a lot whiter than the Radium.
