I have 2 175w halides on my 33 (on seperate ballasts). I was thinking of switching to one single 250w iwasaki instead. I'm not sure if you're in to any trades or anything?

hey OD,
what kinda ballasts are they? any old bulbs to go with them? how old are they? and what do you want for them?

Hey OD,

If Shao is not interested, I might be. Besides the ballasts, do they come with sockets and bulbs?
How much do you want?

Shao, if the lighting is just for growing macro algea, I'd recommend a mini halagen lamp instead of going halide.. You don't need the full spectrum for macro algea (from what I've been told).

You can get those 150w halagen shop lights at almost any hardware store I think.

Danny I'm only really interested in some type of trade, so I don't think I'd let it go too cheap. They are on 10k bulbs and I have a spare 55k venture 175w bulb too. I made a DIY reflector and socket mount for both.

Email me if you have any further questions. Or want to talk price.
