    Late lastnight I was checking out a local forum as I always do. I noticed something to good to be true. It was a 36" Hamilton Technoligies Deluxe light setup. 2x175w ushio 14,000K with 2 new spares, 2x95w VHO actinics, with new spare bulbs, both electronic ballasts for the MHs and the VHOs. There was no price.

    I kept checking back to see if the guy ever posted a price, finally he did. As soon as I said I wanted them, he went offline. I emailed him and told him I wanted them. Around 10am today, I forgot I had tried to get those and he had replied to my email. I picked them up this afternoon for $180 total, gas included, it was over an hour away to get them.

    Im sure there local reef clubs in your area or within driving distance that use some kind of message board where they post stuff for sale. I passed on a 2x250w MN setup the other day for $200 because its to intense for what I needed it for.
