i have some nice rock currently but was thinking i could use this stuff as a base?

also, is this a good deal?

5 Foot 350 watt Metal Halide fixture with 2 175w 14k bulbs 48" actinic florescent bulbs, and ballasts. $200.00 obo pick-up only no shipping

i thought it sounded pretty good...thanks!

personally, I wouldn't buy the rock. Something looks-wrong. Maybe its the big chunks of marble that I can find in my backyard. You want rocks that are more porous than that. If the lighter colored rocks ARE from the ocean so to speak, then sure if its the right price. But don't get the dense, no holes in the rock rocks.

Dunno bout the light... sounds good, but does it run, and does it need new bulbs?

Kinda looks like "Slate Rock", good for building walls not good for salt water IMO. Sounds like a decent deal on the lights, find out how old the bulbs are and then offer them $125 for It all. That's what I would do :-)
