Is MH Lighting Still A 'Thing'?

[Rovert]

I have an old PFO 2x250 HQI single ended ballast in very good condition from years ago and wondering if MH is still popular or DOA. Looks like LED has taken over as the more popular choice. Been wondering if I should list for sale, and if so, what would be a fair asking price.

It's still a thing. Especially if you need the light concentration it provides.

I’m still using MH along with many others. The selection nowadays not what it once was . But still able to find decent bulbs.

I’m still using metal halide on my 65 and LED on my wife’s 32. I love my halides and am looking at upgrading, likely to a ReefBrite or Hamilton system

Bulbs are more limited now but still not too hard to find (ish)

Lots of folks still use and love them! I have two, but they are not over the tanks at the moment. The shimmer they produce is amazing...not to mention how well they grow Acropora!
