1, I can't remember but 55 gal seams to ring a bell.

It could be a risk as I found throught my tests that a 250 watt radium on a HQI ballast puts out more PAR than a 400 watt radium on a normal or a son agro ballast. ( I can now test another HQI set up intown to conferm this if I can ever get time to get over to Adam's with my junk. same ballast type, exact same bulb, different reflector. Should be interesting )

I think the other "risk" could be the one that he wasn;t sure if he would like it or not, and there could be other risks so I guess he will have to tell us which ones he is thinking of.
