250 MH Setup x 2

[dvbrien]

Looking for 2, 250 watt MH pendants ballasts...

 

[dvbrien]

Looking again!

 

[zoanutty]

I have two of these

 

[dvbrien]

How much buddy, where you live?

 

[zoanutty]

Miami FL 33189, I can do $160 shipped for both

Give me a little bit to make a decision. I have no idea what I need. I don't remember anything about hqi vs mogul and what ballasts are for what and what "K" to buy. Though l, think this price is reasonable

 

[zoanutty]

Lol HQI is double ended bulbs, which I will include the ones I have now, for you to try out. They’re 6 months old. One is a 10k and the other 14k. Mogul is one ended. Btw these will come with the UV glass shield as well. These have served me well for about a year. Only reason I’m selling them is because I’m taking the tank down.

OK give me till tomorrow, going to read about everything. Not used to getting this quick of a reply. This was posted last year. What brand bulbs do you use?

 

[dvbrien]

Are these compatible with the reef Brite 250?

Are these compatible with the reef Brite 250?

If they are HQI (DE=double ended), then yes.

 

[dvbrien]

Sorry for not being more clear. I want to use my apex to control the halides and seen reefbrite has a plug to do this. Is the Hamilton Reflector compatible with reefbrite reflectors? Looks like a specific plug.

 

[zoanutty]

Not sure about that cause I don’t use a controller in any of my tanks

Ok, I'm a researching mad dog!
