![]() Can anyone out there have any opinions on the 400W 10k MH bulbs? Big difference from the Iwasaki?
I have to replace my bulb soon, which should I go for? Iwasaki or 10k? I have 2x 40w NO Actinics. |

![]() I had gotten away from being a student as well. Till I was booted out of the Navy and they said they would pay for more.. can't pass that up.
Kinda off topic but ... you know, I've been out of university for about 7 years now. I still get nightmares where I'm walking into a final, and I suddenly realize that I have skipped every single class of that course in that semester, so I was walking into a final not knowing a doggone thing. Eeeyikes. :eek: Seven years later! |

![]() Well it looks like you're getting pretty damn nice growth and colour out of the 250 as is. I guess it depends on where you wanna put the money.. I wonder how much more it costs per month to run a 400 over a 250. Probably be about the same if you are running a short photo on the 400.
Why is it that we always want to keep upgrading when things are already working well? It's the addiction I guess... :rolleyes: |

![]() Looks like someone else has found out about the 430W HPS ballast trick :D
There is no such thing as "400W HQI". That's just PFO's label on a product they sell, which apparently is just a 430W HPS ballast. Advance makes one (part#=71A85E6) and so does Venture (part#=V90C2050). The Venture ballasts are available over here in Calgary for about $100 at the hydroponics stores ("Bumper Crop" my secret reefing supply store, because they sell much the same things any LFS sells, but much cheaper.). I haven't been able to find the Advance ballasts yet (but to be fair I've only called two stores so far). I might try this myself in the future, but I don't have the ability to try anything at the moment, due to severe drought of funds.. :( PS. The really "cat's meow" ballast for these are the Blueline e-ballasts. Smallest power draw, highest PPFD output. [ 31 May 2002, 12:22: Message edited by: delphinus ] |
