Gathering equipment for the next 90..... Deal or No Deal ?

2- 250w pfo mini pendants w/ pfo dual 250w hqi ballast and oldish phoenix bulbs $200
 
Sounds like a deal. New pendants are around $100 each and a dual ballast around $350.
 
Thanx Cap,

Enough light for a 4' 90. Not much of a coral person in the current 90 but being pressured to make this one more 'reefy'
 
Oh yeah. Those and maybe a couple T5 or VHO actinics and you're set.

Here's Sanjays chart showing the performance of all the 250w bulbs he tested with a PFO HQI ballast. DE are the double ended bulbs you will use. It will give you a good idea of how different bulbs perform and what you can expect from the new bulbs you will be buying. :)
Take note of the PPFD and CCT. The CCT is the actual K temp of the bulb.
