    Does anyone have a link to new data from SanJay?

    I can't find data on the new Reeflux 20kk and the new Sunlight Supply Galaxy Ballasts.

    Particularly want data on all bulbs with SS Galaxy ballasts.

    Thanks,

    Todd,
    I wanted info on the new 20k bulbs so I asked some fellow reefers and a couple of stores that used them. One person I asked is a Spoinsor store from Ft Worth...Fish 2morow. Robert stated that he liked them at first but they fell off very rapidly and at 6 mos, he went back to the 12k and still continues to use them now. The 12k are what I use @ 400w on Galaxy ballasts. You are more than welcome to come by any time (call first) and see them. I use these on Lumenbrights with no actinic and couldn't be more happy with them.
