Hamilton 250w Cebu sun fixture?

[brett7768]

Anyone have one of these? Should I upgrade to electronic ballast? Would magnetic ballast be better to run 20k radiums? How are the bulbs that come with this fixture?

Anyone?

If you want to run a Radium, use the magnetic ballast and make sure you specify M80 if it is a 250 watt bulb, the electronic ballast is not an upgrade here. The fixture itself is adequate.

Anyone else have experience with this fixture?

I have one over a 60 gallon cube and am very happy. Use the 14k lamp and two atinics and two blues for the T-5's. Grows SPS or clam on bottom with no problem.

The MH bulbs that come with it are Hamilton? Anyone know what magnetic ballast it comes with? They make an M58 and an M80. I'd like the M80 because I'd like to run 20k radiums.

Is this a new fixture?

 

[brett7768]

yes im thinking of buying it new

Then you pick the options you want, if you want M80 will need to let them know you want the M80.
