(LOCAL ONLY SALE WILL NOT SHIP)Sorry I know this is a good price for a new fixture but it is a heavy item and I don’t want to ship it.

For Sale Aquatraders 760W 2 x 250 w MH 10k with 4 x 65w CF 48 inch fixture “NEW” this unit was purchased around April of this year and it has been in the box except for about 5 minutes of testing. I AM NOT SELLING IT WITHOUT THE STOCK MH BALLASTS,(Most people on RC that purchased it have replaced the stock ballast.)as in my opinion they are not good only producing about 162watts in my case. If ordered today it has a price of 379.00, but I am also including two mh bulbs that I got from GREATDEL on ebay. Those 2 bulbs cost me about 45.00 with shipping for both. They are 250watt 14K DE. I am selling it because have gone with Icecap 660 T5’s.

In summary you get:

Aquatraders 760w 48 inch fixture everything except the external MH ballasts.
And 2 extra 250w 14K MH bulbs

PRICE: $ 225.00 for the fixture and the extra bulbs. ALL NEW (or best offer)

Here is the very long but very informative thread on the Aquatraders Odyssea MH fixture new electronic version.
If interested in buying it is a must read imo.

This is the new electronic MH ballast, the ones before used cheap tar ballast and those had fire issue as per other threads. Now these new ones use another cheap MH ballast which i did not sell because they don't look safe imo. The much more expensive Aqualight Pro HQI Fixture may be made in the same factory in China. I can't see someone setting a new machine shop for a low volume sales item.
