Metal Halide

[MadMike]

I want to upgrade my 29 gallon tank but cant afford to buy a new metal halide. If anyone has an extra one lying around and wants to sell it get back to me.

Nobody Has One Just Lying Around?

Yup. But I'm thinking a 250/400w Fixture and a 400w ballast might be a bit much for a 55... If you want a 250w fixture (DE), it's $50. Black pendant in very good to excellent condtion. A ballast is $120 on line, and a bulb is whatevery you want to spend...

where can you get 250 mh for 50 bucks

[Bill S]

I have FOUR fixtures available. They take DE (Double Ended) bulbs, either 400w, which is what's in them, or 250w - they are adjustable. Very good to excellent condition. $50 each. No ballasts.

I have a Brand new 150 Ballast that fires double ended bulbs and I have an brand new 14k bulb. All you need is a reflector.

I will sell the new ballast and the bulb for $65.00 Buy the reflector and you have a setup for $100.00

Those are the type of reflectors I have on my system and have been happy with them. They're not Luminarcs, but for the price are very good little pendants.

Somebody here probably knows - the Coralvue pendant adjusts for the bulb size. I have 400w bulbs in there. I know the 250w DE bulbs work, will the 150w bulbs work? Here's a pic of the pendant.

[erikharrison]

I don't think 150s will work in them. The 150s that I used to have had different ends. They were definitely different than my 250 bulb.

What do you already have on there? Have you considered T5s?

[Bill S]

Since I'm not familiar with 250w bulbs either... Any chance the 400s & the 250s are the same physical size? The pendant DOES have an adjustment...
