Is this a good deal? I am still doing my homework on MH lighting and came across this deal. Just curious if this is a good setup and if not, what needs to be changed? (125g tank). And what else would I need to complete the whole setup to make it work properly.
Limited Sale Price $95.00!!
(Regular Price $99.95)
* Finally, a retrofit kit with high quality, functional parts that you need!
* Tired of seeing those cheap kits everyone else sells? We were too, so we finally put together a MH Retrofit kit with parts and options we would actually want as aquarists. Don't throw away your hard earned $$ on cheap parts, only to have to replace them later.
* Retrofit kits includes: Universal M137 magnetic ballast, our Parabolic Reflector with a standard mogul base/mounting bracket riveted to it and grounded power cord. See ballast description below.
* Brand new items come in this kit, no flimsy parts!
* The reflector is our Parabolic Polished Aluminum Mirror reflector.
* Compare the others, and then buy the BEST!
* Pulse Start ballast. We recommend you use this on Ushio 175W 10,000K lamps.
* Note: this kit will require wiring done by a qualified electrician. We suggest purchasing 18 gauge wire to aid in installation.
* Optional: We offer High Temperature wire nuts as an option, so you know you are getting the correct ones safe for installation. High temperature wire nut connectors are rated to 302 degrees Fahrenheit. Made specifically for high wattage HID applications.
* Wiring instructions are on the ballast.
We've had a few questions about these ballasts looking "used". These ballasts are industrial grade, and thus, they are not shiny and new looking. The ballasts we sell are fresh from the factory and 100% brand new. They're not a best looking item we sell, but they are reliable HID workhorses!
