Anyone see any markings like this before? I have had a small percentage of clownfish coming out with some markings I have never seen. As you can see full barred with a spot on each side. This one even has a couple extra spots on its tail.
I made a resolution to get rid of all the accumulated equipment I have.
Compact fluorescent ballast $35
Blue line MH Electronic Ballasts (3) $65 each. No cords
250 watt MH bulbs used free with purchase if any body want them.
