huskerduck Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I have 3- 200 watt MH bulbs in a 150 Bowfront and I think the middle one needs to be atleast a 400 watt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Are you sure these are 200w? Normal wattage would be 150w, 175w, 250w, and 400w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcoralfarm Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Rick is correct on this, might want to double check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskerduck Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 yeah maybe they were 250 or 175. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Find out for sure and also what type of ballast they are. If you have a dual 250w hqi ballast then I may be interested in swapping my dual 400w PFO ballast for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskerduck Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 I have 2 different kinds, Im guessing PFO in the white cases and then I have a black ARO and they all have 250 on them, the ARO actually says 120-250. These seemed fine with my old 125 Gal several years ago, but it seems adding the 6" of depth of the Bowfront might need a lil more "omphf" for the 24" depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskerduck Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 and none are dual, I have three ballast, for 3 moguls. Two are in white powdercoated boxes with switches and the third is just a ballast I wired a plug to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c32benzo Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 For the right price I am willing to seperate my single and dual 400W PFO's from the light fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I have two 400w 14k Hamilton bulbs 2 weeks running I'd sell for 45.00 ea, nice blue color no yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
