For Sale: Aquarium lighting

[mr_X]

I have two fixtures I would like to part with.

First is a 48" 2 x 150 watt halide fixture with hanging kit. Age of lamps unknown.
$100.00

Second is this Hamilton 150 watt pendant with ballast. Age of lamp unknown.
$30.00

I will not ship, because these things are heavy. Thanks for looking.

 

[mr_X]

Changed my mind. I'll ship these heavy things at your expense.

 

[Rpbustillo]

Did you get these sold?

 

[mr_X]

I have some left. What are you looking for?
I also have a 250 watt Icecap halide pendant and ballast.

 

[Rpbustillo]

I'm looking for my 75g and my 10g

 

[mr_X]

Well, what do you intend to keep in the 75? If sps is your answer, the 2 x 150 watt fixture is not for you. If it's just low/medium light corals, then it will work.

I would not use anything I have listed here for a 10 gallon tank.

 

[Rpbustillo]

What size tank would you suggest for that 150 watt pendant light?

 

[mr_X]

I have to correct myself- that's a 175 watt Hamilton pendant. You could use that over a 10 i guess. A bit overkill IMO. What are you intending to keep in the tank?

LPS possibly SPS not sure yet

 

[mr_X]

I don't know what it would cost to ship it. It's pretty large, and heavy. You'll need to change out the lamp too, so there's another 50 or so bucks to add to the price. Why don't you just buy one of those 120 watt LED panels that are dimmable and have something brand new with little to no heat and you can dial in the exact potency you need?

 

[Rpbustillo]

I forgot about the shipping being high because of the weight, I'll look into getting one of the LEDs. Under the LEDs where in your tank do you normally position montiporas?

 

[mr_X]

All over. I have some directly under the fixture 2/3 of the way up, and some on the sand bed.
