cinhrak,
I have a JBJ 47inch PC setup.
4-50/50 bulbs, new in august.
Black AL housing, 2 fans, 2 switches, one power cord.
works just fine, ive recently upgraded to 2-175MH.
This is not being used currently. paid $239 in Feburary this year, will sacrafice for $130 shipped to your door.
I also have a BARND NEW HELIOS setup with the same parameters, yet those bulbs are 6 months old. HELIOS warranted the whole setup 2 months ago and its still sitting, i put the bulbs in to confirm that is works, Like a champ now, they were pretty good about replacing.
Same priced shipped
Jarvis,
i could use a Icecap 660 VHO setup. need something for the 55g i have going now,
LKM

I've got a 48" coralife aqualight that I am not using since I switched to a smaller tank. It's been used for about 6 months and it is like-new condition. It has two fans (inflow/outflow) and two power cords so you can put them on separate timers. Everything is in excellent working order, I even still have the box!
This will work great for any coral but SPS. I had a brain, ricordia mushrooms, galaxia, star polyps, polyphylia, gorgonias, normal mushrooms, and several leathers under it and they all thrived and grew like crazy (until the seals blew on my tank :( )
I got a deal on it online for $180 so I will sell it to you for $100 plus shipping. Shipping shouldn't be very much, it only weights about 8-10 lbs. Post or e-mail me if you are interested or if you want pics. E-mail's to the left!
EDIT: The parents live in Chicago area (Lombard) so I travel there frequently. Just in case you were wondering if I could deliver :D
