Too Little Phosphate?

Coralvue Reeflux 10k here if you have actinic supplementation, 12k if you don't. You lose approx 25% of the light energy going to the 12k but corals flourese a TON better than under the 10 with no supplementation. XM used to be a favorite too but their bulbs are far too inconsistent.

Do Reeflux 250W bulbs do okay with generic pendant type magnetic ballasts?

Oh, and where could I get a new cheap one?

The 10K Reeflux bulb performs much better on an electronic ballast and seems to like the new style CoralVue or an Icecap best. Checkout Frederick at www.coralreefbazaar.com for pricing, plus hes local.

Awesome Jim!

That samoensis is growing more and more over it's mounting rock. It's looking good!

[JimD]

Excellent! Hows about a pic? You knew Id ask that didnt ya!? lol

[discuspro]

I did, you have telepathic powers don't you!

I'll take a pic tomorrow, but it's a stroke of luck to get closeups like my rainbow monti pic. It is staying a little brown at the moment, it'll probably like a new bulb.

So, Coralvue has a dimmable 250W ballast. Are they any good?

Also, they have a dual 250W ballast. Is that one any good?

Lastly, does Fredrick have any discounts? I need to get my charter membership on MAAST for once.
