Are These Any Good - Galaxy Electronic ballasts

Anyone using one or know much about them. I'm considering purchasing one but I wanted some feedback.

Will be running a Lumenarc DE bulb if that matters.

thanks
Josh

Where are you finding them, Josh? Link? Locally?

Golds Aquarium sells them I guess. they're a little cheaper (under $200.00)

Do you have 400's Albert?

I set up 2 x 250watt off of the Double 250 Gallaxy ballast and I could not be happier. Looks great, runs cool and plug and play. I have just purchased the 400 watt model but, I have not set it up yet. Just my 2 cents worth.

I run 3 Blueline E-Ballast 400W on my main Tank and a 400W Gallaxy on my frag tank. The Gallaxy blows my Blueline out of the water. So much so that I'll be selling it to get a 250W as it's just too much light in a little frag tank
I would recommend them to all

I plan on running the 250w version w/14K bulb on my 45g cube. Wendall has them listed on his site.

I can also purchase them in Winnipeg. Glad to hear your pleased with them Jason.
