We recently added a new line of Metal Halide light bulbs to our product selection here at That Fish Place, the Ushio Aqualite line of bulbs.  Ushio is an industry leader in lighting Ushio Double-ended Lamptechnology who manufactures their light bulbs in Germany, so you can be confident in the quality control and workmanship of their products.

The Ushio Aqualite bulbs are available in single ended (mogul base) style in 175 watt and 250 watt, and double ended (HQI) style in 150 watt and 250 watt.  Both types of bulbs are available in 10,000K, 14,000K and 20,000K color temperature ratings. Ushio Mogul Based Lamp

Ushio takes the utmost care and inspection of their raw materials and maintains top standards in cleanliness during their  lamp production. USHIO Aqualite lamps utilize proprietary rare-earth mixtures to provide the most consistent lamp color over the entire lifetime of the lamp.

We are proud to offer these top quality bulbs to our marine aquarium enthusiast,  give them a try, I think that you will be very pleased with their performance.

Please let us know if you have any questions about this exciting new line.

Thanks,

After graduating from Coastal Carolina University with a BS in Marine Science in 1996, I started my professional career in 1997 as an aquarist at Ripley’s Aquarium in Myrtle Beach, SC. This was an amazing experience, in which I gained invaluable hands on training in exhibit design and construction, as well as husbandry skills for a wide range of animals. In 2000 I started working at That Fish Place as one of the staff Marine Biologists, with the responsibility of maintaining one of the largest retail fish holding systems in the world. I presently hold the position of Director of Aquatic Science, where I oversee the operation of our 35,000 gallon retail aquarium systems, and provide technical support for our mail-order and retail store customer service staff. As an aquatic product specialist, I also provide support for our purchasing and marketing departments, as well as contribute web content and analysis. As a Hobbyist I acquired my love of aquariums from my father who was keeping a large aquarium in early 70’s, and set up my first aquarium when I was 12 years old. I have now been keeping aquariums for over 35 years, and through this time have kept more aquariums and types of fish than I can remember. I set up my first Saltwater aquarium in 1992, which led me down the path I still follow today.
