And Clint- you are using a Blueline for the ballst- is that correct?? We are thinking of going to the hydroponics store to get a ballast. Hopefully we will be getting our bulbs (from Stephane) tomorrow.

Jeanna,

I didn't do any research/reading on whether a Radium bulb will work well with any core and coil ballast. You may want to make sure the one you get from the hydropinics place is the same as those others use.

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?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">We may want to prod Doug into posting, but I know that he has the single version of the ballast and when he fired it at home for his tank he thought it was very, VERY nice. Which is good, since I have bought 2 of the dual ballasts from Jayson for my up and coming tank [img]smile.gif[/img]

4 @ 400W Radiums over my 6' tank.... woo, that's gonna rock [img]smile.gif[/img]

Cheers,
Keith.
