FS: PFO 250x2 MH ballast...
Just purchased from a fellow reefer.
everything you need. power cords, sockets, 4 bulbs (3 old, 1 newer) and ballast.
I can get pictures if needed. I knew MH got hot, but its a lil' toasty for my setup, (MH is overkill anyway) so it has to go.

I'm asking 190+ shipping.

PM me, or e-mail bendehaven@hotmail.com

thanks,
Ben

I'm not sure if its electronic or magnetic, but its heavy.

I never used these on my tank, I had it running for 30-45 minutes without problem, but it produces more heat than I want to deal with, especially in florida summers.

For the most part I think they are, but they do have 150 and 175's w/ electronic ballasts I believe. In looking at mine their part numbering goes as follows ...

AQ2-250MH-120 = 2 ballast - 250W Probe start - 120AC

I think they substitue the "MH" with a "PS" for pulse start... so what does the part number note it as? Not interested btw, just trying to help out. My part number was written in pen btw.

bulbs are 10k
Ballast is magnetic

I'd rather not trade- as I found the VHO setup I want.

Interested in the 2 balasts only. Shipping to 80206, and what price if you are willing to part out?

Looper- I'll find out about shipping asap. I dont want to overcharge, so i'll get an exact price.
bc- its one unit, and I'd rather not part out as I'd have no use for the sockets.
