Stubborn strategy. Offered you 800 like 3 times over a year. Now your sitting on it. Businesses liquidate for a reason, so there real estate doesn't get taken up by stuff they can't sell anymore.
When I offered 800 the last few times, your lights were obsolete than. There a few people out there like me, that are willing to spend the extra in power to get more glow on my corals.
If your sitting on it? And you want to liquidate? I'll give you 500.

I'm not trying to show off any strategy. If you're trying to say I'm stupid for doing what I did, and assume that I spent days or even hours trying to figure out how to squeeze every last penny out of someone like a genius, then you're not being very nice. If you're just trying to teach me a lesson, I appreciate it. In hindsight, sure I could've sold it to you for $800.
If you're just trying to be nice, send me a PM and it's yours for $500 if you pick it up today. If not, then I'll kindly decline. Don't really care or have time for that.
Again, it's hard to understand people's intentions, especially through forums. So I don't want to sound like I'm accusing you, but you can't deny what you typed can come off in that way.
Stop eating popcorn gentledental4u!

Ah Good advice! I'm definitely getting fat and could eat less calories. Thanks!
Truth be told, I'm waiting until Black Friday so that I can buy your light for 99 bucks!!!!

Sorry man. Just saw all this. I'm kinda joking and wake up all at the same time. I don't think your strategizing, I think you put to much thought into what you payed for something.
Still interested. Just I can only make it on weekends.

I feel like the value of this light just went up for the sake of the entertainment value of it all for you guys. Can we get a feature where you have to pay to subscribe to thread? Could have paid for the light. Looking at you [MENTION=359491]gentledental4u[/MENTION] haha.
Anyway, I really like this light. It's so well built. It's gorgeous. It's in amazing condition. I get it that halides/t5's just aren't as in demand. It's just the way things go.
A part of me also might just want to use this light as an excuse to set up a bigger tank again. I wonder if I could stick some radion pucks to replace the halides, and run the T5's as supplemental whites? I know the Hydra Cool Whites are pretty harsh...

If the center area can fit Radions, I say go for it. My new build is going to use Radions and T5s.

Unfortunately the middle section is only 4.25", while the Radions are 7" wide.
I started looking at the Kessil A360X Tuna Blues. I think I could just replace the halides with two of those, and maybe even stick a third one in the middle. Not sure if a third one in the middle would be overkill for a 48" tank?

You could always start with two then add more later. If you want to play around with retrofitting, you're welcome to have the Kessil mounts that came with my hybrid T5 kit.

Thanks Derrick! You're always so kind =) If I end up going down this route, I'll reach out. Hopefully I can trade you something for the mounts that you'll like.

Congrats. It's a sweet fixture that deserves being mounted on top of a nice tank. I'd say the 120XL is the perfect home for it. :beer:
