Found one on ebay with 2 X 250W MHs, 4 X 54W T5s and 6 LED moon lights for $342.65 Canadian. It is a generic made in China unit and it's also located in San Francisco so it may arrive in several pieces (don't know how well lighting hoods ship).

I picked up a 72" fixture off of ebay and have since replaced all 3 ballasts and all 3 lamps and it has made a huge difference in the brightness and color. The 250w MH's where more like 150w. You may want to look at spending a little more initially and then you won't have to upgrade down the road. I have also seen coralife units where the ballasts where upgraded and again, a huge difference in brightness.

Just my $0.02
