Looking for a low bucks version of a 175 or 250 MH pendant for my frag tank. Don't need anything special just seeing whats out there.

I have a retro kit reflector and an M58 ballast - I might have a Mogul socket too (not sure)... No lamp.
$50

I still have those goofy parking lot floodlight reflectors too. @ of them with built in Mogul Sockets. $50 each.

I also have some DIY 250W DE pendants made from halogen floodlights. The sockets are worth $20.

Also, check out this 250W e-ballast for $80...

Not sure on the shipping - it may be better to see if Serdar has some used ballasts.

I could get you an extremely good deal on a 400 watt ballast.

I'm only talking about 8 inches of water so 400 w would fry everythig. Thats why I thought of a 175 watter

Actually Sammy, I have a 150 watt Aquamedic Oceanlight DE pendant. Includes everything. I think I even have some brand new generic (ebay) bulbs for it somewhere that I could throw in.

http://www.hellolights.com/index.asp...ROD&ProdID=547 is what it is, and actually where I originally got it too. I'd let it go for $125 including the bulb that's in it and whatever other bulbs I can find (2 at most, would be generic ebay bulbs, but brand new).

Brian: I'll send you a PM. That is what I'm looking for.

There is a place in fostoria ohio that makes 100watt and 150 watt halides a friend gave me one for my frag tank and I love it It has a arm that comes off the ballast and reaches out and over my frag tank looks like a operating light but only 5 inched around gives nice light though. It only says made in fostoria ohio no brand name
