What kind of lights and sump are they?

No one else uses a heater controller or knows of a company that makes decent ones?

More like 3 minutes. I emailed the person asking about the tank. It was after I sent the email that I realized the thread was over two years old.

The skimmer has to be after the refugium or it will be removing the beneficial things out of the water that is needed by the refugium.

I have come into a bunch of metal halide fixtures. They are mostly 250 watts and a few 400 watts. I stripped the components from the fixture to install into my canopy. The components include the transformer, the capacitor and the mogul socket. You will need to buy some 14/3 wire and a metal box...

Does anyone know of someone who makes a decent heater controller? I have two Won Bros heaters and both the controlers went bad. I plan on removing the controllers and putting a plug on the end of the heater cords and then plug them into a third party controller?

Put the macroalgae in the first chamber. This would be your refugium. Then I would put the skimmer in the middle chamber. You dont want the skimmer in the last chamber because that would deplete the reason for having the baffles. The baffles keep the bubbles from being pumped back into your...

Ok, I will try and post pic tomorrow. I'll bring more ballasts home tommorrow. It takes a while to strip out all the components, not to mention how heavy they are. One is not heavy but I've been carrying 4 at a time. LOL

Does 25 each plus shipping sound fair? this includes the multitap transformer, the capacitor and the mogul socket, plus some wiring.

How much do you think they are worth? What do you think is a fair price? When I get a chance, I will post a pic of exactly what I am talking about.

Is it reef ready or drilled? what pipe are you talking about that broke?

Still interested.

It is the metal used for capping and flashing roofs. It is called coil.

I have a complete machine shop in my basement. I do gunsmithing work, building custom rifles. I also have plenty of polishing wheels for bluing guns and plenty of Simichrome polish that I used to use for polishing my motorcycle. I also have a brake for bending the metal.

The transformer says: CW autotransformer ballast for(1) 250W M58 orH37 lamp 120/208/240/277V 60HZ 2.5/1.44/1.25/1.08A OCV 320 15 MFD 400V CAP (1.43 MEGOHM MAX Rdis) the number on the capacitor is VC15048ECR If anyone is interested in one of these to build your own ballast, let me know.

I just checked and the bulb says M58E, if that means anything. I'll check the transformer and capacitor and list any info that may be on them.

Actually it is aluminum in a coil roll. I am going to polish it before I bend it and mount it in the canopy.

I plan on building a canopy and mounting the bulbs inside. I have a canopy that I built and I have VHOs in it. I have access to hundreds of ballast components and bulbs and sockets.
