    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 :)
