    Looking for 250 watt MH ballast

    I need to replace a 250 way single ended metal halide ballast. I'm been trying them on my frag system. One of them went haywire.

    Anyone got an old one they want rid of cheap ill come pick up. Thanks.

    Right now its a brand new in box ice cap that died in about a week. There old versions are known to have flicker n dead issues, there newer ones are great. The hqi version is great i mean. I have the old ones.

    Would possible be interested in other metal halide gear like reflectors n such as well. I am mixing Mh with LED on my frag system with good results so far.
    Four individual systems Right now.
    30gal red sea 130d lps/softies/anemone tank, kalk ato, reef bright led strip.
    40 softies set up.
    550 total gallon marineland 300 DD main system 18 months old now and stabilized. T5 VHO lights/ BLUE led strip, Fully custom built LIFE REEF sump and FUGE, AWESOME 60" tall skimmer, and 1000+ gallon rated custom Ca reactor, 3 50 gallon attached SPS frag systems lite with a combination of HM and LED and T5 fixtures.
    A 200 gallon MARS quarintine with UV system/ medication for new arrivals.

    Still lots to learn about the hobby but I have amassed a great collection of real beauties. I have broken past the stage of keeping things alive and now there actually growing out. Which is a big hurdle for many beginners I must admit. Good information and advise is hard to get sometimes and the club has done wonders with respect to quality advise and help in the hobby.

    I have several 250w MH ballasts.
    I even have reflectors and double ended retrofits if you need those too.
    Come pick it up or pick them up when ever you want.
    We can trade for frags.
    Good Luck,
