ARO Ballasts, comments.

I am going to change tanks and i will need 4 250's and I saw the ARO ballasts. I have never used them and don't know anyhting about reliability, generating heat, or etc?

Thanks Keith

I have 3 electronic ARO ballast running MH and VHO systems and love them. Very little if any heat and the color from the bulbs is great! For the money I would definitely recommend them!

I have an ARO ballast for my two VHOs that I ordered from www.hellolights.com and I really like them. Low heat and no buzzing noise .
