I have some interest in the duel 175's but no sell as of yet. They are not Coralife brand, don't know where that popped in my head from. Just a magnetic duel 175's with quick disconects and the XM 10K's for $150. I can link the thread I go tthem from for $300 less than 2 years ago.

I am also selling the magnetic home made ballasts I got and never used. I thought they was somewthing wronge with them because they would fire the bulbs randomly. One day they would the next day not and would take a long time to fire them also when they fired. I replaced them with brand new icecap electric ballasts for $250 and had the exact same problem :(. Premium Aquatics even replaced the ballast for free thinking it was a fluke bad ballast and the same still happened. Short of it is the bulbs were new and very cheapos so they had not been burned in and cheap on top off it is why my cheap magnetic ballasts would not fire consistantly. I had Foggy54 check them out and he said they fired his 250's right up. Sooo they should be a fine cheap duel 250 ballast if anyone was wanting to pick this up. I would recomend useing a name brand bulb is the only thing. Its just the ballast pluggs and wires to go to the mogal sockets which are very long. No sockets,reflectors or bulbs. $50 I gave $150 but kept the reflectors and bulbs...
 
Angela, So all I would need for that homeade ballast woudl be bulbs, sockets and reflectors? if so , then I might be interested.

Angela, I dont think I can go this route, I dont have a chiller to handle the heat they will put into the water. I ahve a pretty enclosed canopy and they woudl be about 7" or less off the water. plus, my vho is a 4 bulb and I would have to gut that and and go with a whole new ballast for actinic supplementation..

thanks anyways, if you dont sell it, i may get it for future use.
