Looking for a cheap 250w double ended reflector and ballast. I already have a bulb. Have something else let me know I may be able to make it work.

Thanks Justin, I found a Lumatek on Reef Central that matches my other ones.

Still looking for a Reflector, needs to fit over a 75g tank and can be SE or DE.

Bump for a SE or DE Reflector 250w or 400w. Let me know if you have one.

Was thinking of ordering this http://www.hellolights.com/250whqidoubleendedmhreflector.aspx What do you think?

I had mini pendants for my 250 DE MH's.   When I ended up checking the Par, it was pretty bad.    Those look like very simple reflectors, not sure they are that great......... but they are cheap.

The cheap appealed to me most but once you add shipping it probably isn't all that great of a deal

I read some where that someone bought a cheap 500w halogen work light and use it. I have one that the bulb went bad in. I'll pull it out and give it to ya to mess with.
