update.... i am extremely impressed with change. however the luxcore ballasts are completely subpar. i tried 3 different bulb brands and these ballasts flat out do not fire a 20k spectrum. needless to say i will be swapping them out soon.
i will start documenting coral progress shots so show the different....
side note i sold the radions over one of my prop systems as well and put a the (2) 175w Reefbrite MH over it... holy cow is those lights are amazing.
Its all about efficiency, on how it fires the bulb. I borrowed a friend of mines Lumatek ballasts just to try it out to figure out exactly what the difference would be .... the Lumatek makes the Radium much more bluer than the Luxcore and gave me about 180+ par. I also tested out 250w radium bulb with the Luxcore and it put out about 150+ par than it did with the 400w. again back to efficiency... not saying the Luxcore is a bad ballast just saying that it doesnt perform how i expected it tooYou can set the ballast to match the type of bulb? I found the Luxcore to be a pretty good ballast and I have a lot a ballasts including the magnetic old school ones to compare it to.
I was looking at the ReefBrite MH Hybrid system. Is that what you purchased?
yeah i think the LEDs will give it more pop... your giving me something to think about tho lol ... 2 t5's might not be a bad idea lolSo supplement with LED and not T5's?
