What 250 watts light bulb would you recommend and where would I buy them? I recently got a MH light fixture and looking for double ended 250 watts bulbs is not that easy apparently. I got one from Amazon “marine color” but reviews are mix.
$250 obo + $50 shipping. Shipping will be expensive. The shipping fee will help cover some of that cost. I’m in NC. I’m selling a 400 w Reefbrite single ended metal halide pendant, electronic Reefbrite dimmable ballast, with two xho led strips ( one 50/50 white blue the other just blue) and a...
What's in a Metal Halide spectrum? What's the secret spectral sauce? How much UV does it really have?
The answer greatly depends on the ratios of the halide salts used, the gasses, and whether the outer fused silica glass has been doped to absorb the UV from the mercury vapor discharge.

Hi,
This is my first time setting up metal halides, and I am not sure how I should connect them.
The first pic is ballast with 3 output connections, and the second pic is from bulb socket that has two wires and one ring(?).
Obviously they cannot be fitted and I am wondering if I should buy a...

250w de fixture with ballast, and led moonlights. Not to sure on the model as I 3 from a tank breakdown and only need two of them.
Will do shipping, buyer pays, but the ballast is very heavy so It may be expensive. I do have some smaller items I could throw in to make it more worth it for shippers.
Selling a brand new 36" Reef Brite 250w DE Metal Halide Pendant fixture. This was originally purchased to go over a 75g tank, but I decided on going a different route. I have two brand new Hamilton 14k bulbs that are included with the fixture. I do not have ballasts, this listing is for the...
I’m planning on a build that will be 60x30x15
I want to hang my light pretty high above the tank so when your viewing the tank it doesn’t intrude the view being that it will be a shallow tank
I was thinking of going with halides if I can find them and the kelvin I want to be at is between 8k...
The lighting debate is far from over. LEDs seem to be the dominant lighting type at the moment, but there are still options out there. This poll is to determine just how popular each lighting type or types are at the moment.
Please answer this poll based on your PRIMARY coral tank.
Hello, I have a 5 foot long T5 hybrid fixture with 4 T5 bulbs, two xr30 and 2 kessil a360 (the guy threw them in with fixture purchase)
I was wondering if they make MH pendants that would fit in similar space that a360s would? Huge fan of mh shimmer and they’d only run 2-3 hours a day…
any...

Hey all! I am currently in the middle of piecing together an upgrade and figured I'd document the process and share my experiences along the way!
A Little Background:
My current system is an Innovative Marine Fusion 40 AIO tank. I've had it running for a bit over 2 years, and as well as it's...
I am selling my ATI Powermodule T5/LED Hybrid 48" 8 Bulb Fixture 3 led clusters. This thing is an absolute PAR monster and is practically plug and play. I am trying to not ship this thing just because of the size. I am asking $1,000 picked up in Kersey, PA.
Hi Guys,
Here in Australia we can't get as much, and specialist lighting is hard to come by, which apparently is Metal Halide? :rolleyes:
Giesemann are really the only quality option, some unbranded probably chinese globes are also available, but I'd imagine quality control isn't as strict...

As the title says, I am looking for a 250w metal halide ballast in good working condition. My fixture has the standard 3-pin US plug, so if your ballast has the same it will be a plus :D
Thank you all!
Decent MH retro. Has been sitting in a closet for a while but works as it should. Just took those pics. One of the fixtures is missing the glass. Couple of old lamps included as well to get you going.
sorry I cannot ship. It’s free. I’m in Miami. PM me for pickup address.

Since 2015, I've been keeping a 60 cube tank. I used dry rock and the system took some time to mature and eventually evolved into an acropora dominant mixed reef. I enjoy seeing larger colonies, but space was getting tight and with my wife's...
