Dual 250w hqi ballast, mogul sockets, reflectors and 4 1/2 month old ushios/blv. I used the hqi to drive lamps such as radiums and ushios that required this ballast.

$300

pfo hqi ballast

Hi! Pedro:

Do you need to run both ballast, since I only have a 33 gal oceanic cube but I will based on past experience probably try to get a 60 cube next year. Could I just run one side of the ballast? How old are the ballast?

thanks,

danny

Both ballasts have independent switches and power cords so you can just run one if you choose.

I would say they are about 2 years old. I originally used to run a regular pfo ballast.

$225....Let me break something down.

Ballast $344 plus $17 shipping for weight http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idProduct~PF1632.html

Mogul sockets $23 x 2 = $46 http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idProduct~PF2613.html

Reflectors $24 x 2= $48 http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idProduct~PF2631.html

Lamps blv/ushios $80 x 2= $160 4 1/2 months usage = $80 http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idProduct~MB6411.html

So total package comes out to $535, and that is already deducting the usage of the lamps. They can last up to 12 months but i rated them at 9 months.

$535-$225=$310 savings.
