[hobogato]

i have all coralvue (or will when my 2 new ones come in) and they are working fine.

I use the Coralvue, too. I changed from magnetic and the elec. bill dropped a cool $100 a month. Pretty sweet!

I use Coralvue too - but, I've had one DOA out of the box and I just sent another one back for the second time - these were the new style red ballasts. David has told me he is replacing this one with a brand new model that has cooling fans (back) in it...

I am running my 250w 10k reeflux also on the CoralVue eballast and absolutely love them. I have 2 single ballasts and both have ran fine for me for close to a year now. Don't think I'll ever run anything else. Plus our electric bill had dropped significantly.

i still need to get by your place and see your tank sue.

I don't remember but I believe the cords just go from the ballast to the light with one, and the other one just plugs into the wall. Unless they changed they didn't have a on/off switch either. I think that I remember making a quick disconnect for mine to disconnect from the bulb without having to actually unwire it.

Cliff, mine didn't have the on/off switch either. I have them on timers, cause I didn't care for the plugging on/off.

[BIGBIRD123]

I have mine on timers . too.

I use CoralVue electronic ballasts on all of my tanks. I liked them so much that I became a dealer. I am also an IceCap dealer but I still prefer the CoralVue ballasts. I really like the new verions (they are epoxy filled). The CoralVue ballasts do NOT have an on/off switch (that would just make one more failure point). I have mine on a digital timer that has a small push button that allows me to turn them on/off whenever I need to outside of the programmed on/off times. The 175 watt comes in three versions (1 bulb, 2 bulbs or 3 bulbs driven), the 250 watt comes in two versions (either 1 or 2 bulbs driven) and the 400 watt only comes in a single version (1 bulb driven). If you have any questions about any CoralVue product, please do not hesitate to call me.
