I don't (sorry), but on that topic Steve, I was wondering about the Fulham HighHorse ballasts .... it looks like they're available in the 250W/M59 size? (I wish they'd hurry up and get that 175W version available soon, I want to try them..). Have you at all looked at the 250W version? Would they run the Iwasaki's do you think?

Which HQI ballast are you planning to buy Steve? Fulham or another?

I ordered two Advance magnetic M80 ballasts today and they will be here in two weeks.. (seeing as Advance is the only manufacturer of a M80 ballast) they are the same ones PFO uses in there 250 watt HQI ballasts.

If you're going to the reef meeting at Wendell's next month, you can come over afterwards to test my IceCap/Optix III/AB 10k combo or I can bring it to the meeting.
