sharoleb Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hi, I'm currently running the Phoenix 14K, I can't remember what T5's I bought. Love the Phoenix!! However, the bulbs are pretty close to a year old so yes, they come with, but probably need to be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobtoSalt Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I bought the ballast brand new from rose city a few years ago. Great unit. If i had a larger tank i would buy it back from you. The legs alone cost me $60 which you don't see often. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharoleb Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Yeah Noob this has been an awesome fixture, absolutely love it with no problems! The ballast I had previously actually went bad before the warranty was up so this is a newer ballast, same fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharoleb Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 After I sell the lights, I have my BEAUTIFUL Oceanic 90 gallon w/ starphire glass to sell, along with sump, pump, skimmer and controller. Working on this a bit at a time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Here's a photo of it when i had my 75 gallon. Glws. I would stick to my guns on that price. The fixture alone costs 400 with no bulbs or ballast Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharoleb Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Thanks Noob, I appreciate it. It's hard to decide on a price that is good for everyone. The fixture is still in great condition and is a nice piece, regardless of how many owners. I'm not taking a hit just because someone doesn't want part of it. I'm selling it all together, package deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GL on the sale though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharoleb Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 No worries, I get it. This hobby is constantly changing, as is the technology that goes with it. Of course you could DIY and jimmy rig a light set up for cheaper. You can DIY everything for cheaper. But, IMHO, this fixture is better because a) canopies are ugly, and b) most DIY jobs are ugly and c) this one is ready to go and looks great. I sent a PM saying I can be flexible on price.

LOL I sent a PM saying I can be flexible on price, but I'm not taking brand new bulbs out of my budget, I'm out of the hobby and am not going to pay for someone else's bulbs. no i understand but personally thats like me paying for bulbs that have no life in them. supposibly radium bulbs can last 14 months.. really your supposed to change them around 8 as depending on how much your running them the life of the bulb dies out. i dont want to pay for bulbs that im not going to use. especially ones im going to throw away. and as the seller i would never do that to someone. its up to you again but personally i wouldnt pay more than 250 for the ballast and fixture. the t-5s are the only bulb id probably not change and those are $20 and i can get them even cheaper than that at certain LFS cause of closer connections. im not trying to disrespect your price, or what you feel the value of the fixture is in anyway. hey maybe youll find someone willing to pay that much, i personally might not get another light for another month or two as my focus on my upgrade is to take it pretty slow. i have the same ballast and if i got the maristar i would personally upgrade to a double icecap thats dimmable. so if you ever decide for some reason on parting it out. (cause it would be easier to sell) let me know and ill buy the fixture. if not, no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharoleb Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 LOL - not meant to be harsh. Everyone has their opinions, which is why I was humble in stating mine. Since when is "pretty" NOT a selling point in this hobby? Case in point: IMHO, my tank was pretty, and pretty bada$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
