36" Dual 150W DE Metal Halide Fixture made by Cool Touch Aquarium Lighting
4 years old
2 x IceCap HQI Ballasts
no fans
no supplemental lighting
Paid $707

Selling for $350.

Great lighting. Had no trouble keeping Crocea clams with it over the 4 years whereas I could not keep Crocea clams with my 5 bulb T5 fixture.

After using T5 now for almost 2 years, it is clear that my SPS grew faster and brighter with this MH fixture than with the 5 bulb T5 fixture that I have now.

Pics were after I unpacked it.

Cooltouch dual MH fixture
No fans or supplemental lighting.

If no takers, I can rip out the 2 IceCap MH ballasts and sell them for $100 for both. Feel free to come by and see them work beforehand.

This unit was used and worked great for about 3.5 years from 2005-2008 approx before I switched to T5.

The ballasts are like these:

Will now ship the 2 ballasts without the big external housing. $100 plus $15 for shipping regular parcel within canada.
The aluminum canopy has a nice reflector and a glass shield and would be good for retrofiting. $20 pickup only.
