FS: 54w HO T5 ballasts (priced to move... LOL)

I have sold all the old stuff that I had in the lighting department except (3) 54w HO T5 ballasts.... I need to sell these to buy a sump so they're going cheap.

Each ballast will fire 1 or 2 54w HO T5 bulbs... Advance brand. They cost me $45 plus shipping at hellolights just a few months ago....

$20 each ballast......

Doug, do you know if these will run a 36" bulb. If they do, I might take 2.

Doug, you still looking for the VHO ballast? I have a duel PFO VHO ballast, powers two 72" VHO Bulbs. I'm looking to change out my VHO to T5, maybe we can work a deal?

The one bulb in the front isn't enough blue for me and I can't fit another VHO bulb on the back with the Sea Swirls. I can do the two 54" T5's front and back and I think I'll get better coverage. I might even go 4 36" and stick with my Reeflux 10K bulbs.

I've got so many little tweaks that I need to make, unfortunately they all add up to major bucks. We talked about the Ca reactor, then there's new T5's, another Sea Swirl and two more 6025's to complete my random flow design and a 100 other things I NEED!

I curse whoever got me into this hobby!!! Oh yeah, it was my wife. .

I want one if still available. I'll be out of town all weekend though. Let me know if that's ok or if you'd prefer to sell to someone sooner.

I am interested though, and I won't back out. Not for $20!
