powdertang05 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 does anyone know for a fact a phoenix bulb will work with a ice cap ballast these are hqi bulbs so ill be using a hqi fixture but i was hearing that they burn up way to fast but i wanted to know if anyone knows anything else. Quote
sknoch78 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I have been using the same setup for the past couple of years with no problems. I really like the combo. Quote
powdertang05 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Posted November 26, 2006 sweet jesus thanks for that fast reply Quote
R-3 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Yep you will have no problems with that combo. Probably one of the nicest bulb-ballast combo out there. Later Ryan Quote
H20cooled Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Yep I used that setup over my tank for a while with no problems. You won't get as high of an output as you would get with a HQI ballast but it works fine. Quote
powdertang05 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Posted November 27, 2006 PFO the best for HQI or sun supply? Quote
H20cooled Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 From what I understand all of the HQI ballast use the same hardware internally, so really it comes down to other options on the device and price. Quote
R-3 Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 Yeah Rich is right. It really depends on what you can get either of them for. I know that some of the Sunlight ones come with integrated timers and such which makes it kinda nice. Later Ryan Quote
