My buddy has a fixture i think made by same place that makes the 36 inch one your selling.Its dual 250s plus t5s.Its 3 months old and in good shape except one ballast is burnt out for one halide cause he broke it on accident.Can get new ballast for 80.It would be pretty cheap.

He is in sheboygan.He is waiting for new light to come now.It uses external ballast that just plug right in to cord so anyone can plug in a plug.I think was gonna sell for 100-150ish.Will talk to him today.I know places with name brand ballast on sale for 80 right now.

I belive it is a oddessa or whatever.He said 100 when just talked to him.His new light is on back order though for like another week.The light has two t5s and the other 250 halide works so wouldnt be without light.Im not gonna go and get pics of 100 light that isnt mine.Sorry i know ebay has them on there.Also you were selling that 36 inch one for how long with the same amount of info i gave you before.......

 

[nkelr]

wow this is a serious fixture. think i like it. so in theory if only one ballast works then i can make sure both the lights work by plugging them each into the ballast???? any place locally where i can get this ballast???? why did this guy order a brand new light insted of ordering a new ballast for this light?????

 

[plainrt]

Yep can switch them.He has been doing that to give corals on each side light till new one comes.I talked him into going with t5s.Best bet is ordering one.That one in link is a very good ballast and dirt cheap.
