Does anybody have a 175 W metal Halide Setup for sale?

I have a 175W ballast I am going to upgrade today...

It's a big beast used to power two lights...

Hey Tigger,

What happened to the set up that you had? I was about to call you to see if you had set it up yet!

Best,

Rob

Currently, there's a Powerbuy on Reefs.org for 175W Sunlight Optix II package for $198US. The 250W package is only $10 more.

Or if you don't need a pendent, you can get a 175W HQI electronic ballast and 10k bulb at Ocean Encounter for $154US. With brokerage ($5) and shipping ($20), and conversion (x1.35), it comes to about $240Can.

I still have the duel 175W. I am thinking I will need 3 for my tank, so I am looking for a third one.

Thanks for the info Sam. I am hoping to find a used one around here for a good price.

Good call on the third bulb Tigger!

IMO it would be a good idea once you find your new setup to try and match the bulbs since each company's kelvin ratings can be slightly different.

Good luck!
