They are $200.00 brand new and you will need new bulbs very soon and 2 bulbs will cost you about $85-$90 before shipping. SO your only saving like $35.00 from a brand new one shipped. I'd have to think long and hard. I prefer a T-5 fixture the bulb replacements are cheaper, last longer, and they are more energy effeceint. You can get 2 Nova extreme T-5 lights for $72.00 each. So for 2 brand new T-5 with 4 39 watt bulbs you would spend $144.00. Sounds like a no brainer to me. I'd do the T-5's. Also you might only need one Fixture depending on what corals you are going to keep.

ok cool.. im gonna try to make the price lower.. I emailed him $60 for the light because of the replacement of the bulbs..
I had to ask him for the time he was running the lights.. from 8 am to whatever time he had it for.. was really long and he said no thats normal..
thats too long right?? should be from about 4 pm to 10 pm?? like 6 hours?? Since the peak of the day is aobut 4 hours of that kind of light..

I use the same fixture and I run the actinic(blue bulb) for 12 hours and daylight(white bulb) for 8. Probably could do 10 and 6, I just don't.
