it is like new.. no scratches or spots. if you are truly interested I can take a picture, but we are not set up to ship anything and be it known that Pleasant Hill is about as far South West as I am willing to meet anyone right now, for personal reasons.
I am not sure about your second question : MH or HQI ?
The ballasts are like new also. They were kept 8' - 15' from the tanks that they lit, so no salt creep, corrosion or other issues.
I thought I posted pictures previously, but maybe not. Again, if truly interested I can go take some pictures and post them. Just lmk.
