Blue Cespitularia(AKA blue xenia) 2-unattached frags available $30
white Pom pom xenia-$10-unattached
I can also cut some monti caps and other SPS frags price would depend on size and coral

you didn't put a price on the light retrofit kit. I might know somebody interested in the 37 gal. it might help if you had pictures of it.

 

[shabreeson]

how long is the retro kit?

 

[BenjieC]

$150 for the retro, and it's 5', but could be pulled apart and run shorter. If I was going to use it, I'd pull it all apart and put real reflectors on the halides anyways. I bought this setup around 6yrs ago, so as is is pretty dated.

 

[BenjieC]

The 37 Gallon is a standard AGA, w/ the outside dim of 30.25"x12.5"x22.75" nothing special, but if you really need a pic I can get one.

sorry, my girlfriend wants one with a stand despite the great price.

I am however very interested in one of the 40 gallons. what are the dimensions?(interested in whether it would fit in my closet)

 

[BenjieC]

36x18ish

 

[shabreeson]

OK great, I think I could do with one of the 40s. I could pick it up this weekend? also, if you're not able to sell your lights by the end of December, I might be able to buy them off you.

I've got a 4' tank. Do you know for sure that this will run 4' VHO bulbs, and at what wattage?

 

[BenjieC]

The eballast is 140watts, and it should be fine on 4'bulbs, you just need to take it apart/cut it down to get it to fit.
