Do you need brown or green zoo coloneys on big rocks. You can always give them away when you get other things. Free. ;D

thanks for the offer Mike! Thats nice of you but I have a 55g reef that I will be taking down and putting everything into the 150g, so I do have some already.. Thanks though. I also have some bad news... I have 400w MH's that I got for this tank originally but was then talked into 250's. I then got a set of 250w MH ballasts but after I got them and hooked them up (NO MARKINGS) I found out they were 175's.I got frustrated and since I am laid off(like so many others). I didnt want to spend more money on another set of ballasts so I hooked up the 400's....

Ouch. You can't return the 175's? If not, sell them off and get atleast 1 250.

Chad, I have a 250 magnetic ballast set up I could let go cheap. It is in a custom Stainless steel hood so you could either mount it as is or gut it out and mount in you canopy.
