Default 60" T5 Retrofit 80 watt x 4 including bulbs

Anyone want to switch to T5's??? I want to switch back to Halides...These lights have incredible coverage over a 6' tank. Run very cool and nice colour but I really miss the shimmer of halides. This is a retro fit kit 4 x 80 watt with two workhorse ballasts so the lights can be turned on and off in sets of two (I have it set up as actinics and daylight for dusk/dawn. Individual TEK reflectors for each bulb. Only used for 2 months! Like new.

Comes with 4 Giesemann Bulbs. Two pure actinics and two midday. Bulbs alone were over $120 plus taxes.

http://oceanaquatics.com/store/produ...-Midday-60%22/

In total this set up cost over $500 with taxes, I would like to get $300 back out of it. Not in a hurry to sell but I do not want to buy new halides until I know someone wants these These would also be great to add as a supplement to halides...I just dont have the room in my canopy.

Local pick up only.

Thanks!

How much room do they take up? (Width-wise)... I was thinking I might try to flank my halides with at least one set of these, and was hoping to go with 2 sets assuming I had enough space. PS. I noticed the local-pickup-only thing but I thought I'd ask about the space requirements anyhow.
