I will be selling my MH setup which is (2) 250watt lumen brite pendants with 12k reeflux bulbs(these come with coralvue electronic ballast). I have other used bulbs that will go with the setup, one is even new. $300 and for another $50 I will throw in a back up coralvue ballast.
[Updated]-Ok I seperated this up one reflector is pending the other is still for sale

Also for sale is a 36" Current USA Nova extreme t5 setup- 6 bulb setup, I have only been using 5 bulbs on it as when I bought it it wouldnt always work with all 6 lit. They sent me a new ballast that will go with this to fix the problem but I never installed it since the 5 bulb setup covered the tank fine- $150

Also have 3 BNIB Galaxy Select-a-watt electronic ballast(these go from 250-HQI-400w)-$100 each
[Updated]- One galaxy ballast is pending the other two are still available.
My loss is your gain. :(

Hey Kevin, I'm doing a bit of swapping myself, but I think I'm going to keep the 400 MH, I heard that red planet doesn't care for the LEDs.

Hey Kevin, what do your pendants look like? Any photos? Are they enclosed/covered? Our fish, probably the big hippo keep spashing our MH bulbs when they are on, so they break and it occurs to me if they were covered that wouldn't happen. Our canopy is tight, so they can't be too big.

:) Maybe. Also chalices dont like leds that much either I've heard so I want to setup a smaller chalice tank for them. Ill be using t5 though.

Chris- Yes Ive been talking to the totm winner at r2r and he talked me into trying a huge nem tank with a couple euphyllia. Plus I will be able to keep a couple fish I have always wanted to keep but always was afraid they would nip at my sps.

My chalices like LEDs just fine. Generalizations don't really seem to work to well in this hobby, in my opinion. There are just too many variables.

12-18 months. I do the same for halides as well though.
