WTB - 175W MH - screw type

[nancysnuwave]

Hi

I'm looking for someone who might wish to sell or could tell me where to buy a 175 MH lamp? The one which came w/ my tank has finally burned out and I have to buy one.. (it flickers like a bad flourescent light, which I assume means it, not the ballast, is bad?)

Any suggestions..

I think that that could be the light OR the ballast. I'd try to borrow a bulb, evben an old one and check it out. I *might* have one in my garage, if no one else has one handy.

I have the bulbs if you want to try to check. I know that Pet City Bloom has them and they are coralife.

Better to try a *used* one rather than buy new. It might be the ballast.

I agree and I have done that before and learned a lesson.

I have a used 175W bulb and ballast. If you need the bulb to test your ballast, let me know.
