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.

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.

Did you use glass over the tank with these?
