New Metal Halide For Sale

[pbuck]

I have a DIY Metal Halide system that I bought and then decided that it was too much for my 45 gallon tank. It was only on for 2 hours. It comes with a 12000k Sunburst bulb. I am asking $215 I would like to get money for it, I don't want to trade. My email is pbuckler@drury.edu Let me know if you are interested.

What is the wattage? Does it come with a reflector?
P.S. by the way...you can get a new 400 watt metal halide system (ballast/reflector/mogul socket/bulb) with 20K radium bulb for like $160.00 plus shipping.

I would like a link to that set up

This does come with everything. Reflector, base, bulb, etc... Through experience I have learned that you get what you pay for. By that I mean if you pay only $160 for a 400 watt Metal Halide. Then you are getting just that, a cheap setup that will probably run up your electric bill so much more than a more expensive setup that it will be cheaper to pay more for a better ballast.

are you going too tell us how much watts it is? what kind of ballast?

PFO, one of the best metal halide ballast makers around, uses an M59 magnetic ballast inside their pretty enclosure. The setup I am referring to also uses an M59 ballast. I have owned ballasts from several different makers, in all different wattages, and found PFO to be the most reliable and drive bulbs the best. I would still like to know what wattage and the ballast brand name.
slick - go to the website where you can say "hello" to "lights". it is not put together for you as a kit, but if you buy the ballast, the bulb, the reflector, the mogul socket, and power cord, it adds up to $160.00.

It is a DIY 400 w setup with a Sunburst lamp. It comes with everything you will need to use it. I just cannot return it because it has been too long for me to get my money back ($240). I just really need to sell this light. I'll even take $180 for the entire setup. You will be more than pleased with this light.
