Dam I wish I would have gothen it since the beging. For now all I have is that ballast but I am running the radiums of it. Wow this thing lights the whole tank from one side to another. Might get the ROIII from SLS but I am still debating on it since I like the way the radiums look. Will try to post some pictures later on today. I have to stop by and pick up a tank from a friend.

Hey do you have a se or de? and does the radium look blue or purple? with the PFO ballast you bought?

Mchava · #6 01/26/2005, 08:27 PM

mine is an SE. I wish Radium made a DE also but they only make it in a DE. Well compared to running the radiums on a electronic ballast they are realy blue with a hint of purple. If you got a chance to see the bulbs at clownspawns house they looked purple with the Icecaps but with the pfo they look a lot blue almost like a 14K with alot of atinic. So far I like the color will see how much growth I get with them.

AtlanticReef · #15 01/29/2005, 02:00 AM

Do you plan to change back to 14k or 20k? Hahahah...

Mchava · #16 01/29/2005, 02:14 AM

yeah I love the color that the 20k puts out so I will stay with either the radiums or the xm 20k but will also look into the 14k AC/pheinox
