I just posted an icecap 660 FS in the main sell forum, ballast,harness,timer and rec. 75$ shipped, the only prob is it's 220v and most people want 120v. if room is neer the breaker box and you feel froggy, I'll go 60$.

I used this kit.
Everything is included but the bulbs. I bought the 454 actinic bulbs and love them. http://hellolights.com/2lampelectron...allastkit.aspx
