Coralvue 250w ballast and XM10k??

[JeffD]

hmm..not sure why the post didn't post Lets try again

hello, I have ordered 2 x 250 xm10k bulbs that i will be supplementing with 2 x 110w vho's. Is there anyone out there currently running the xm bulbs with the coralvue 250 ballast?? I would like your opinions on this combo. I originally was just going to go with the mentioned bulbs and icecap 250 ballast as I know a fellow with this setup and i like what i saw..
BUT, i can get 2 of the coralvue 250's at a much better price..so, looking for folks with input on this bulb\ballast combo.

I don't want to kick myself a few months down the road for not going with the more expensive IC250's. If someone using the CV250 and xm10k 250w could take a photo would be much appreciated.

opinions please

thanks!
