I have an opportunity to purchase this:

Hamilton Dual 250 watt MH with Hamilton 10K bulbs and reflectors. $275
Used (said used two months, tho I don't know how you can proove that)

I currently have a 4 bulb t5HO over my tank and would like to add this to the mix. Would you say this is a good buy?

Thx all

Yes, after checking some of the major aquarium lighting distributors it looks like a 250 Watt retro kit with a decent bulb is around $200.00
The one you are looking at, is for a dual system with both bulbs. I'll let you do the math

I'm havin a bit of trouble looking up specs for the ballast. Anyone able to help on this please? Trying to figure out if it's an electronic ballast, programmed start, ect blah blah ....

Thanks!

Main Shop - Aquarium supplies & Aquarium lighting by Hamilton Technology

You could probably email them if you had a product number or id number and maybe they would send you the specs.
