Looks like an interesting build. Do you have any pics of the tank and setup?

I got a Hamilton pendant 250 radium and lumatek ballast with great results on a 48x48x24 cube, much more brighter than the coralvue XL pendant with 400 coralvue ballast and 20k bulb I had before.

In other word I got much better coverage, brightness and color from a 250 watt Hamilton pendant and lumatek ballast (set to 250 only) Vs the 400 watt coralvue pendant/ballast


here is the 250 Hamilton pendant and lumatek ballast

here is the coralvue pendant, 400 watt coralvue ballast

A perfect example of the LB being a spotlight, it shows up very well. They are great if you have a tall tank and need to penetrate, but they blow for spread.
