Sorry for the hijack but the answer to your question might answer what I was about to post. Are all magnetic ballasts created equal? And can their performance diminish over time? I have 3 magnetics now but was considering buying a dual ballast to replace the DIY ones I have (bought them used from another canreefer last year), if all magnetics perform the same I might not bother but I'm also looking at electronic ballasts.
