Not sure on the Phoenix bulbs there Josh, I know theyve gotten rave reviews but I havent seen one lit up in person. Theyre also in the price range of the Giesemann 13k, like 99 bucks I believe is what I saw them for at Premium. People are mostly using them for tanks where supplimental actinics are not used, I dunno, I still like the look of VHO actinics and 10K's. Aquatek has a Sunlight Suppply Maristar fixture with the Giesemann 13k's on an M-80 HQI dual with T5 actinics and its just perfect!

Yeah, i saw that, I believe the guys from MARSH, his last post was on July 7th, I always get nervous when someone doesnt follow through on a thread, specially a sale or group order thread. Know what I mean?

I did love the Megachrome but it only lasted about 6 months and then the corals started changing color. I ran them on a PFO/HQI pulse start ballast. The CV are 10k and I run them on the coralvue ballast. The CV looked aweful on the PFO/HQI ballast.

I tried to run a CV on an IceCap electronic and it wouldn't work. I am guessing they only run on the CV ballast. I have heard some people are having problems with the CV, I just have not experienced it...Yet?
