Hi Jason or Jeremy
I wont to buy some lighting fixtures from you and have some questions before I fill my order.

My qestion regardind this combinations is are all that work together,without problem?Did I forget something or is that all what I need for complete lighting system?Can I use your AB bulb in 220 volts electricyty?What is your opinion about coralvue ballast,are they good?
Second,I need some good actinic 2x96 w PC bulbs,what are the best actinic bulbs in your opinion?I have CSL pc ballast.
Do you have new Aldersade book about soft corals and sea fan identification(I forget the name of the book)?
Hom muct time I must wait untill you get all that ready for shiping?
Can I get some discount ?
I will probably order some salifert products too.

Hi,

Yes, all those items would work no problem. YOu would just need to wire power to the ballast and connect the socket leads to the ballast and would be all set. The AB bulb will run fine 220v.

We just got in the CoralVue ballasts and from looks they look very nice and well built, but we have not tested them out yet.

On your PC bulbs, the True Actinic we carry is the best bulb far as spectrum to use, it's closer to a true VHO actinic which is nice, but it doesn't seem to last as long. So if you want a longer lasting bulb and don't need the true spectrum i would go 7100K.

I'll have to check on that book, i'm not sure if we have those on order or not.

thanks
