hmmmm, not sure with Ushio's.
but you should also get an 175w Iwasaki 14k and try that out on an electronic ballast. its incredibly bright, might even be as bright as your 400w XM20k. your clams would love it that is for sure.
the 175w Iwasaki 14k also works on a magnetic ballast, but the PAR isn't as good as on the electronic ballast, and i think the bulb won't last as long as it does on electronic.
