500 watts of HQI Metal Halide Light

wirehead · #1 09-08-2007, 07:14 PM

I have for sale (2) PFO mini HQI Pendants and (1) PFO MH Ballast for them.
Each pendant houses a 250 watt Giesemann Megachrome marine bulb for a total of 500 watts. The bulbs themselves are new as of June/07 and have run for about 8 hours/day.

The whole unit was purchased and has been used since May of 2006 at 8 hours/day.

All components are in excellent condition. Glass has no scratches, paint on pendants is scratch free and ballast cooling fins are clean and all plugs are clean and cables are like new. If you would like a pic of the stuff, just ask by email.

I am asking $500 (the stuff was $800 new). So let me know if you are interested. I am located in Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, BC

Thanks for looking...

Yes I take care of all my things that cost me a substantial amount of cash. The reason I am selling them is that I don't have the time to give the hobby it deserves. As far as the price, yes I am firm. I don't want to give them away and we can talk about the shipping if you decide to purchase the unit. There is absolutely NO noise from the ballast and yes both lamps run off the same ballast. The amount of light that these give off will be more than enough for your setup no matter what you want to put in your tank, hard, soft corals and even clams. The lights give off a very nice rippling effect that many reefers are after and the effect goes right to the bottom of my 90 gallon which would be another 6 inches deeper that your tank. These are quality lights. I hope we can do business. I can't imagine shipping them would be all that much as you are not that far from here, so I might just pay for the whole deal, but we can cross that bridge when the time comes. Look forward to hearing from you.
