Coralvue Ballasts

What can anyone tell me about this company and the ballasts and bulds they sell?
I need new lights for a 75G reef tank and would like to put two 250's over it.

I used them on mine when I first set up my tank yrs ago with no problems. They did have an issue with interference with the DA Reefkeeper I used so I switched them out to IC ballasts. It may have been fixed on the newer Reefkeepers by now.I would still be using them today if not for that small issue. They ran cool and were in a nice finned case on the models I had.

I have been using them for several years. I have two of the 250w MH ballasts and a VHO ballast all work great. I am also using their Reeflux 10k bulbs and really like the color.
