How do you guys deal with hot ballast? I am using 400 watt ballasts and they get pretty hot. Should I keep them off the carpet floor? What material should I use between them and carpet?

Is the 175W worth a look on a standard 180 with a mixed reef?

Depends on what you're keeping at what depths. I overdrive 250 watt 10k bulbs on a 24" deep tank and stuff at the top of the tank has near perfect color and polyp extension, yet it's difficult to find a place for lower light stuff. Just depends on what you want where

Thinking about going from t5 to MH. I have a 120DT 24"x48"x24". I hope to grow sps in the future. I have a lead on 2- Lumen Bright Mini Wide Pendents with Coralvue dimmable 250w metal halide ballasts. would these work for my tank or should I be looking for 400 watt ballasts and larger pendents?

I bought a halide setup a few months ago for my 75g which is 250x2 in lumenbright large pendents and I have them about 18" from bulb to water surface. But I've been thinking about whether I should change reflectors to something more suitable for my tank size

I find the cheapest on eBay or Amazon. At least, it is for the DE Phoenix 14k bulbs I buy.

Anyone have PAR numbers for the Phoenix 14K and Aqua Connect 14k bulbs? I found an old Sanjay article that include the Aqua Connect, but can't fine one with Phoenix info.

Torn on what to do. I have a 180 g 72"x24x24 tank with 3 Radion Gen 3 LED lights on a SPS tank. I absolutely love the looks, no heat, controllablity and actually the colors. However, I really don't feel I'm getting the growth out of the corals like I used to. Also as the corals grow, I really feel I'm going to have to add another light to help with shadowing.
What do people think about removing my center Radion LED and replace it with a 250w 20k Radium bulb and keeping the LED's on the sides? Give me some good light in the middle and spread a little to the sides and give me prized corals in the center an extra boost. Would it work okay and look good together? I run a 15k to 20k with my LED's currently.

Anyone ever compare the look of the 250w Radium to the 250w Hamilton 14k?

Joe, there is a world of difference between a LumenBrite and a LumenArc. The LB is a spotlight and the LA is a flood light. They are not interchangeable, what are you trying to cover?
