250w MH ballast

[mkengr45]

I run a mix of LED and MH and it looks like my ballast is dead. Anyone have one they want to sell? I figure with all the people going LED that someone has got to have one laying around. Let me know what you have and what you want for it.

Thanks

Prefer M80 ballast as I run Radium bulbs...

Hey have you noticed since leds took over, we have less and less brown outs??....


Coincidence??

[alton]

No M80 but I have a ARO for $20 and a new Luxcore which has the 150, 175, 250, and 250+ settings for $100. I ran into some issues with Radium lamps lately so I switched to Phoenix SE 14k and if they hold up like my old Radiums from years ago I won't be switching back. Sorry about the bad picture and dirty tank but can you pick out which two are Phoenix and which one is a Radium? All lamps came from Louis Elegant Reef.

I'm a newb led owner but I don't find anything confusing about him looking for a metal halide ballast. What would you think would be confusing?

Oh I'm not worried. I was just curious.

The confusing part would be the differences between an M80 Magnetic, Electronic, Magnetic Probe Start, and or Magnetic Pulse Start metal halide ballast.

I apologize for high jacking your thread Randy, I was just curious about that comment someone made. Sounds like Lucky has what your needing. :)

Lol...it's cool man. It looks like several folks out there have MHZ ballasts laying around. I just have to get one in my hands now.

Alton, what problems were you having with the Radiums? I've run them for years and wonder if something has changed with them.

PM sent to everyone who has posted or sent PM! Don't make me go 100% LED for another week...my corals are having MH withdraw. LEDs are great and all, but I just can't help but to have some MH in there to give the overall spectrum I like.
