Wtb Mh

Gatorbait · 08-07-2005, 02:12 AM

Anybody out there have a metal halide for sale? Looking for a 250w or something like that which I can put over my 20L. I'd like to put a clam or two in there and I don't think pc's will cut it. If you have one or know of somebody that does let me know. I'd prefer electronic, but I'm open to suggestions. Will just one bulb be ok?
Thanks

PM me if you are interested in a 150 watt MH. It would be perfect for a 20 gallon. You could keep any clam you wanted with that, IMO. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The bulb was used about one week. The ballast is not electronic, but the bulb alone was like $60 and is basically new. Price can be discussed in a pm if interested.

I think 4' with 630w may be over-kill for a 20.....LOL

A 150mh will be enough to grow anything over a 20...

I have a spare 175MH ballast and Ushio 10k laying around. Pm me if your interested.

Ummm, yeah, 630w is a little more than I need. At the moment anyway. But thanks for trying. I've sent out some PM's to various parties.

Sent you a pm back. If he doesn't want it, it's a Hamilton 150w magnetic ballast and I believe Ushio 6500k bulb used less than a week. Bought new from Dirk and never really used it as my 85 was too deep for it, so I just went with a 250w. That bulb burned very white and I couldn't see a difference between that and the 10k burning next to it...

Oh, $75 for all of it. Bulb was like $60 or $65 IIRC.
