CoralVue vs Icecap

[evogames]

I know this has probably been asked a million times. But I am going to be the one to ask a million and one more times.

I cant decide between CoralVue or Icecap.

The INFO:
2 - 250 watt SE on the sides
1 - 400 watt SE in the middle
2 - 72" VHO Actinic's for supplements

I am trying to figure out witch one is going to be my better choice. They are around the same price range. I am thinking with the CoralVue, the dimmable feature would be nice in acclimating corals. But on the other hand the Icecaps have been around for a long while.

But I guess its like anything else. It comes down to personal preference. So if anyone would like to share...

Thanks for all the help.

What bulb do you intend to run ?

I'm thinking either XM or Radium SE

I have had good luck with coralVue ballasts. The only problem with coralVue is the customer support is not as good as icecap.
