Lighting question

[aquasport24]

I am only running MH (3 400W pendants) and would like to add 2 of these in the near future (UVL 60 Inch VHO Super Actinic Bulb (140 Watts)) to my tank. Here are my questions.
Do i need to buy reflectors for them? (they do have a built-in reflectors).
And what kind of ballast would go great with these?..thanks

I'm running two 48" VHO actinic bulbs 110w each with built in 180degree reflectors and without external reflectors and I have them mounted in an acrylic rack mount. I have them along side 2 250w MH lights. I'm using an ARO ballast but prefered my previous ballast: IceCap 660. Though the ARO ballast has an on/off button on it...

I do not think reflectors are that important with actinic, though I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to have some.

Additional reflectors are not needed. The internal reflectors on the VHO bulbs work perfect. I would recommend the Icecap 660 as well, high quality ballast that I have never had problems with.

Thanks you 2.
