Default OD ballast's availiable

Well out of sheer politeness to my fellow reefers, and after I purchased 2 more, I will let you in on a little secret.

So I purchased the last of the 1/2 price, $15.00 ballast's at Home Depot a few month's ago.

Low and behold they must have found more in the back of the store as they now have a few more up for the pickings.I was there yesterday and I believe they had 7 or so. I purchased 2, 1 for my refugium and 1 just to have.

The HD I am refering to is the one in shawnessey shopping center.

Cheers reefers and Keep on REEFING!!!!!(cheesey, I know)

They are
PHILLIPS
4 BULB T8 ELECTRONIC BALLAST.

I am not at home now so I can not give the exact # but they are the only $15.00 ballast and they are marked with a big yellow sign.

Tony - if you're going tonight, be a good man and grab them ALL.

It is good to share, as long as it's among ourselves. ;)

Cheers, hope to see some of you tomorrow. (Tony, you home at the proposed time??)

Alan

I wasn't able to go tonight, did some last-minute babysitting.

I should be home tomorrow at that time. But if it's possible please call first just so that I don't suddenly make a mad dash to the hardware store or something like that (usually have 2 or 3 of these each weekend ... like I really need another excuse! :D )

Alas, they are now sold out. I managed to grab the last two. I hope everyone who wanted some was able to get them.

I wonder why they were trying to unload them?
