Is the color of the 250 W Radium identical on a SLS Galaxy balast compared to a PFO HQI Ballast?

Rogger, great pics...! Are you running your Radiums on eballasts?

BTW, I'd love to have your Butterflies...! Particularly that Tinkeri, but I'm too fond of Zoas and palys and a few selected LPS...

Tinkeri, Declivis—they're both AWESOME. Some of the best personalities in any fish, ever... I miss mine from my FOWLR tank... So the Tinkeri is the orange-ish one, and the Declivis is more yellow...? I can never remember that right...

I have 3 400w 12k reeflux on my tank. I think they look nice supplemented with my VHO's. What are these 20k Radiums in comparison to the reeflux? Are they suppose to be bluer? Can I run them on mag ballast? Thanks

Whats depth tanks does everyone have their 400W Radiums on? Was thinking about putting one on a 20" deep tank. Too much or should I go with a 250W? Thanks

What kind of bulb life are you getting on the HQI's? 6, 7 months??

Wasn't aware of the 250's being rated for HQI. Have to check that out. I know the 400's don't last to long on the HQI, thinking about going back to the pulse start as I was getting closer to 10 months there before the PAR started falling off a cliff.

Yeah, 250W Radiums are HQI bulbs, which is why they look so terrible and overly monochromatic blue on most eballasts... The 400W bulb is not HQI and a very different beast...
