Ok guys recently I have decided to replace my T5 fixtures which each hold 2 HO 54w T5s. I purchased each unit for $65 (I have 3 of them) and am selling for half off. These units, though cheap, have worked great for me thus far but unfortunatly are not keeping my SPS as happy as I would like. These would be great for anyone who wants to keep softies or LPS. Im willing to let them go for $90 for all three, with nearly bran new bulbs included (ran for about 2 months). I would prefer not to separate at this time.

I am replacing these with retros that I am building for a new set of T5s that will put out more light than what I am currently getting. My initial plan was to re-use the ballasts and wiring but figured I was trashing a perfectly good setup for somone who wants to run medium light animals.

You can contact me at 309-212-1890 or emial kurt.bischoff.sg0p AT Statefarm dot com

They are 48" and fit in a standard AGA hood. They also come with legs to mount on a 48" tank...Heres a picture of what they look like:

Horace, I am interested if you decide to separate them, I recently blew out one of my brand new ballasts and need a replacement. Let me know.

I have 2 of these left if somone wants them. The guy who already payed me decided to go with different kind of lights. I will give him his money back if somone else wants them. Anyone interested? $60 for 2 units, total of 4 bulbs.

I think I might take one of them off of your hands. I really don't feel like doing the big light upgrade right now or anytime soon but want some extra light.

I really cant sell just one...The guy bought both of them, so for me to give his money back somone has to buy both. I dont want to risk selling one and then losing the sale on the other one.

What brand are those Horace?

They are Odyssea. They are nothing super special, thus the reason why they were only $60 new each. But they get the job done and then some for the avg tank.
