175W MH / T5 Fixture w/ballasts

[FastUno]

Selling a MH/T5 fixture (39x11x4). This is a full lighting set.

Specs are as follows:
-2x 175W MH SE, on IC ballasts (Hamilton 14K)
-2x 39W T5, on Workhorse ballast (D&D Actinics)
-2 fans
-hangers (you can hang or place in your canopy)
-all in a fixture that has room for some DIY moonlights & one extra set of wires for future additions.
-Individual reflectors for MH
-Individual reflectors for T5's

I bought these lights from Reefoman (here on MR) for $400 & barely used them for 2 weeks before upgrading to 250W MH. He said the bulbs are 8mo old & I am not sure how old the fixture is, you would have to ask him.

Asking $350

I think it fits nicely in a 48" tank, in fact I had it on top of my 90g tank. I would just not place it on a 24" tank such as mine. Anything on or below 20" should be fine, although I just spoke to someone who I just mentioned the same thing & they are running XM 10K 175W on a 90g & reported to be doing fine.

Opps. This guy is using Ushio bulbs. His name is RGibson on RC & this is his quote:
"FastUno i have had very good result with Ushio 175 watt 10,000 bulbs. The clams are at the bottom of the tank and have good color,corals i place all over the do well and i have used the bulbs for over two years.The tank is a 180 gal tank 24 in deep 6 foot long."
