Should I buy this MH fixture.

[reef_wacko]

My LFS has the following for sale for $550:

No Bulbs.

48" Coralife w/ 2x 400w MH and 2x 96w PC.
2x Coral 400w ballast and pc ballast.

This was purchased for a service customer of the LFS and the fixture did not fit under their hood.

My instincts tell me this a a good deal but I have never purchased a MH fixture and I would appreciate a few opinions.

Again, there are no bulbs.

Thanks!

Personally I think you could do much better online... Maybe that price with mh bulbs!

Any other opinions?

I have not found an online store where I could get 992 watts for this price.

Thanks!

you can purchase even separate retro kits like 2 retro 400w halides and 4 vho endcap w/ ballast...and pay alot less then 550.. . . .
