FS. 2 Icecap 250w ballast/bulb/socket/reflector
As title says I have 2 250W icecap retro kits for sale. I bought them less than a week ago and have since decided not to use them. I have seen them fire up, so I know they work. It comes with everthing you need. I believe that they are the old style Icecap ballast.
I was thinking like $90 each

I realized that the new tank I had already bought was only 18" wide, I would have a hard time gettting the MH and the VHOs to fit.

18" is no problem to run VHO/MH, I did on my 90 and the 125.

i think you could choose a 15k or 20k and be very happy with no actinics .
in case you missed it from the other thread, here is a tool that lets you see all the different K's on the same tank.
