I have a couple of 20K radium bulbs that were used for 2 months in Missouri and have not been touched since. I may be able to help you out with a bulb. PM me.Originally Posted by apedroza
And it is similar to your set up. 250w, SE, and ran off of IceCaps...

Matt at Austin Aquafarms is running his radiums on electronic overdriving coralvue ballasts. They fire the bulbs at 430w instead of 400 which is why you're seeing the colors traditionally associated with that bulb.

Try www.fragfarmer.com. Eric has the Radiums, but he's told me he and several others like the Helios better, and that they last longer.
