I have over driven t10 bulbs. I noticed my 12" bulbs driven 4x were increadible. When I went to a bigger tank I just added 48" bulbs to the over driven ballasts. I don't think they are as bright as when I was only overdriving the 12" ones. Still really bright compared to not having them over driven. I had these ballast floating around (which is a t8 electric from CT) If I had to spend the money I just get a workhorse 7 and run T5HO, PC or VHO. I think it would cost about the same and you could still overdrive them for that extra bit if you must.

Workhorse 7? And can you explain overdriving and how you do it?

Workhorse 7 is a ballast you see for sale. It can run upto four bulbs I think that are t5Ho, PC or VHO. To overdrive all you do is attach all four leads to one bulb(thing its the yellow wire). I tested it by first doing one, then adding another and another and so on. Just to see what the difference is. I have not notice any more heat then normal.
