Anyone want to switch to T5's??? I want to switch back to Halides...These lights have incredible coverage over a 6' tank. Run very cool and nice colour but I really miss the shimmer of halides. This is a retro fit kit 4 x 80 watt with two workhorse ballasts so the lights can be turned on and off in sets of two (I have it set up as actinics and daylight for dusk/dawn. Individual TEK reflectors for each bulb. Only used for 2 months! Like new.

Comes with 4 Giesemann Bulbs. Two pure actinics and two midday. Bulbs alone were over $120 plus taxes.

In total this set up cost over $500 with taxes, I would like to get $300 back out of it. Not in a hurry to sell but I do not want to buy new halides until I know someone wants these :) These would also be great to add as a supplement to halides...I just dont have the room in my canopy.
Local pick up only.
Thanks!
