I posted this in someone elses thread by mistake.
Should I buy these? He wants $175 which is cheap.
Dual ballast 250 W metal halide
2 X mounted in spider reflectors
dual ballast 55w power compact
The seller says
I got them from an outfit called Harbor Aquatics in Gary / Valpo IND about 6 years ago. When I took down the tank 3 years ago the bulbs were 4 mos old. But since they've been out of use for so long I would get new bulbs.
There is no glass. The bulb fixture is mounted to a spider reflector. There is no frame for this. It was mounted in a fish room. The power compacts are mounted in an area that is made for flourescent use.
