I have a set of 3 Hamilton Cayman Sun reflectors (without the moonlight LEDs), 3 250w Radium Bulbs used for 6 months, and 3 Luxcore 150-250SL ballasts.

All for $450 shipped, $400 local pickup, or best reasonable offer.

I had these mounted where the base was 12” off the water surface, and still grew SPS frags on the bottom of a 24” deep tank. 2 desk fans for cooling and I never needed a chiller because they could be mounted so high off the water.

I wonder if our corals miss metal and T5

I can promise you if you are running Radiums/T5 and your corals aren’t growing that your lights are certainly not the problem. As far as missing them? I think they certainly color and grow corals faster than LEDs.

I have backups to my backups in regards to halide lighting, so I’m just selling these better looking stand alone fixtures to thin the herd. I have my beat up and ugly MH gear on standby to color and grow corals with this winter when it isn’t 102 outside.
 
Would you sell the bulbs? What part of Alabama are you in?
 
Not from this set, but I do have maybe two or three other Radiums that have a good 6 months of life left on them I can sell you for $20 each. I’m in Birmingham.
Sent you a pm
 
Splitting up the remaining:

Reflectors: $175 shipped for 2, $90 shipped for 1.
Ballasts: $150 shipped for 2, $80 shipped for 1
 
Did you use glass over the tank with these?
