Default Treasure in a thrift store (Giving Pays)

I think this is one of my most luckiest day. Early this day i went to the thrift store to bring some of my old stuff. Then I notice an aquarium in the back of the store so I went to the back and take a look at the aquarium and to my surprise it an come with a stand and canopy so I ask the lady in the store for the price, then the old lady told me that I can just take it and cosider it a trade for all the stuff that i brought in the store.

So I take it home and live it on my garage for a while to go to the superstore.
Whe I got home and went to clean it i see something under the canopy that surprise me and make my day much more happy ( Its a complete lighting system a 150 MH with two 2 T8 actinic)

Who would ever guest that giving away few bags of old shirts and pants will have huge payback.

Now all I need to do if find some double ended bulb MH to test it.
And starting tomorrow I will be treasure hunting on the local thrift store.
