$500 shipped anywhere in the lower 48.

For Sale one of my Giesemann Spectra lights. It has a dent at one end and is missing a few end screws and I ran it without the T5 plastic covers and so unfortunately lost them but otherwise it's in perfect condition. This is the light I used to create my last awesome reef shown below. I only used it for approximately 2 years before trying PacSun LEDs which I hated and then ATI Powermodules which I have now. It has been in storage in my basement for 4 years. I LOVED how Radiums grew coral and looked in the daytime, but I love the dawn/dusk with blue LEDs even more. The bulbs have about 3 months on them and include 2 x 250 watt Radiums and 4 x 54 watt ATI Blue+. I modded the wiring so the T5 bulbs are paired outer 2 and inner 2 to allow for pseudo dawn dusk. I also had this modded with a Hydra 26 in the middle and it was amazing, but I took out the Hydra to use for another project, but I highly recommend trying it out if you've got the finances or find a good deal on an old Hydra 26. Includes one new extra Radium and hanging kit.

You bet. It was dented by UPS, but I took money instead of a new fixture. It could easily be straightened but I never bothered.
