![]() Jayson you seem to be obsed because I have offer people the radium half you normal price but YOU are trying to sale stuff I dont try anyting more here than help people save money
I am not upset that you are doing this. What you decide to do is your business. I have an overhead to maintain. I dropped my price down to $134.99 because I received a better buy on the bulbs by purchasing quantity. I charge what I charge based on service. Are you going to take the bulbs back if they fail? Are you going to deal with warrenty issues? I pay the agro ballast 85$ and offers it at 90$ you LFS symply alway doulbe the price so dont try of accused me of anyting I do not double my price on my balasts or bulbs. I have not accused you of anything. Where are you reading this? I respect you and tink you try to help to but could you show us a bit more about you ballast what are the spec of that ballast I will post the specs of the ballast later. I will have to find them again. As for testing the bulb with a spectrometer I have not and will not because I dont care as long as my coral will look happy the rest is only useless but did you tested it ? I myself have not tested it. I am going on tests that have been conducted by other people in the industry. Anyway the ballast you offered is a good deal and if he is good as you said I WILL recomend people to buy and I will even orther you tree for my tank but for now the best for my $ are the agro show us a bit more about it than said that he is the balast Radium recomend and show us pic and comparison between agro or blueline whith it I can not show you a comparision pic to a Blueline ballast as I do carry these ballasts. I will not be carrying these or the Son Agro. The only way that I will be able to do pics is if you send me one of your ballasts. |

![]() From the info that I have received the ballasts will power all the German/Euro bulbs out there with no problem. It is in the way the ballasts are designed. The bulb is brighter than on a regular 400 watt ballast. The color difference is a much cleaner looking whie blue. As far as comparing it to other ballasts I have yet to do that due to not having any others at this time. Thanks

![]() Jayson, you're saying then that the "Blue Wave" ballasts are the correct or at least close to correct ballast for Radium bulbs? I've never heard of this company (doesn't mean much ;) )...are you aware of anyone using these ballasts that has posted pics of their system? Have you opened one of these ballasts to see who really manufacturs the guts?

![]() Being a new moderator, and the only one here for now, :D , I hope I am writing this correct.
Stephane, I would say even though you mean well and your bulb and ballast sales are well recieved and needed, I would say your posts on this topic,{both posts} are bordering, {if not already], commercial posts. When you were selling the bulbs in private on the for sale forum, that was fine, but in this post, and the other, you say your making a profit,{albeit very small}. I know this is just to cover your costs and appreciate it. We had the same situation on RC, with someone selling 250 watt Iwasaki,s of which I bought some. Neither him, nor you, are doing anything wrong, IMO. But you own a lighting company and bring the bulbs in. If sold for any profit, I dont see how its not a commercial venture. Others such as Jayson, AJ, and JL Aquatics,{just to name a few}, cant advertise theirs products and your competing against them. I would say unfair. Plus Canreef is also a company that must compete against all the above and they do own the board. The other posts regarding buying cheaper, was for sure heading that way. I left it there, because, first, I am unsure, and second the excellent points made by some of the aquarists about supporting their lfs. I am questioning this not only as a moderator, but as an interested aquarist, who has bought many things private and will continue to. But fairness must be maintained on the boards. Perhaps I am wrong on this, darn newbie moderators, ;) , and if so, I apologize, but after going over the rules and mulling over these posts since the start, I do see how. Anyhow, lets just keep them non-commercial. |

![]() After browsing http://www.sunlightsupply.com/aquari...ballasts.shtml
I notice the Blue Wave ballasts contain one of three possible ballasts. The come with either an Advance, Magnatek or Venture. I can't believe that any one of these three is the "correct" ballast. I don't see an option to choose the one you want. So which one is the right one?? |

![]() Thank-you Stephane.
Knowing you, I know it was not your intention and that you make hardly diddly-squat [img]smile.gif[/img] and that your selling of these bulbs & ballasts, is as a favour to other aquarists, {which we appreciate, believe me}. [img]smile.gif[/img] And as I mentioned before, IMO, its not really commercial, but perhaps getting into a grey area. :D |

Sorry if you take this like that but it was not my intention of doing anyting comercial here or again's the rule I could not even pay the butter on my toast whith the money i take on those ballast I do it at first to help people around if I dont I will stop my buisnes is not a lightning compagny and selling bulb and ballast are not part of it but just give me access to buy them. I have talk about the price of the ballast here only for one reason it is because Jayson have tell me 'you try to sale sale you agro ballast' and I dont try to sell anyting to anyone I only try to help As for the other post after reading it in all is content yes he was sound like someting commecial but it was not my intention i was just trying to tell people who much profit LFS do on our head and hate to see them get the price lower only when this happens but I delete all the post that should not be there Anyway I will be more carful on my post to not talk about it anymore [ 07 August 2002, 12:52: Message edited by: stephane ] |

![]() I got a few bulbs from stephane and my tank is lit with one now. All the hype about the Radium is true. Best lighting I have seen in person.
