WTB - Lighting for 48" long tank

[Whatigot]

I'll consider anything really.
I want to spend no more than 500$.
I'm definitely hoping someone has a couple of MH pendants in the 150-250 watt range or maybe a vho or cf MH combo kicking around.
Tank is a 72 gallon bowfront that is 23" deep, but I have a 4" mixed substrate sandbed so I need something with decent penetration at 19"....

pm me or post, thank you kindly

Ocean aquatics has a duel 150 MH double ended bulb fixture for sale.
Half of what you are looking at paying. He still had is 3 days ago I think its a Hamilton and 48"

[Marlin65]

Ohh its a used one someone brought in not sure how old the bulbs are.

bump, still looking.
Will head out to Ocean Aquatics to look if that light is still available...

got a 48" coralife 4 x 65 watt for sale bought around a month ago

hmmm...
could use that to supplement my halides when I find some...
whats your asking price and what lights are included in the fixture...?
thanks.

not sure on asking price its literally a month old, but if you have a price in mind i can always think bout it, if not i got it for 300 brand new or so it comes with flourescent lampts 2-65 watt actinic and 2-65 10,000k cmpact flourescent lamps

i see a lot of the cf's show up for pretty good prices, I think a couple just sold on this site for 150-200 bucks.
I think it's the kind of light a lot of people start with and then upgrade, so it comes up used often.
I would be interested, but I need to concentrate on finding the main lights, something that will accomodate my 20" deep tank.
I'm thinking 2x 150-250w halides will be ideal.

okay bud well i will sell for anywhere around that just give me the word :biggrin:
