    2 Blueline 400 watt magnetic ballasts, 2 Lumenmax Reflectors mogul sockets, 2 XM 400 watt 20K SE lamps used 1 month.

    I'll take $200 for the whole package. This is great equipment, and it is in great condition.

    Great deal for someone. Will bring to DSM area if needed.

    Would you sell just the bulbs?

    I'd rather sell the whole package. If someone else wants the ballasts and the fixtures and not the bulbs, then sure.

    I could ship it to you, but you have to realize that the ballasts are fairly heavy and the pendants are 15" L x 11.5" W x 5" H. Each unit would have to be shipped in its own box and the bulbs could be shipped in one box. Five boxes. I would charge actual cost of shipping and shipping supplies.

    I'm going to be going to the Amana colonies sometime soon. How far are you from there? I'd be happy to bring them along. MUCH easier and cheaper than shipping.

    I have to go to Des Moines next weekend to get some clams from joel. So as long as that deal goes as planed I could pick them up for you and meet you in Iowa city with them.

    If this all fits together, could you bring me a frag or two of some of your blue branching corals? Let me know what you have that gets some height. Heck, I guess even if the lighting isn't sold we could make this work.

    Thanks!

    just to let you know I run 2 400's and 110 watt VHO's over my 75 gal. and I don't have any temp issues. I do also have a 8" clip on fan that blows through the canopy also just to help. the thing you just need to worry about is acculimating your corals to the light it takes a lil longer but works great.
    good deal on the lights though.
