Comments on Icecap's new 250W HQI ballast?

Captain Clam · 12-09-2002, 06:46 PM

I haven't been able to find all that much about this ballast from doing searches. I am considering 3 of these with AB 10K bulbs to light my 6' 135G tank. Having never used MH before I am stuck with gathering all my information second hand. If any of you have tried this ballast and have opinions either way I would appreciate hearing them. My main concerns are use of space and ballast efficiency. I am comfortable that the 250W bulbs will be plenty of light for me so I am not as concerned about squeezing every last photon out of them. I would rather they last longer than be overdriven. Thanks
