Hi All,

2 questions:

1. Can I get a recommendation on good 4 bulb combination that is strictly UVI bulbs? I have softies and lps.

2. I was wondering if any one else is experiencing problems with running ATI bulbs on IC 430s. I am currently running 2 IC 430 that are each firing a pair of 39W T5 bulb. The ATI bulbs only last about 3 months before failing. The ATI bulbs fail because they crack about a 1/2" away from the socket. Most of the failed bulbs have a burn spot near or on top of the crack. I do not believe the crack is caused by a tight reflector clip or faulty wiring. I believe that the ATI bulbs are not strong enough to be installed in my system. The UVI bulbs I have, do not seem to have a problem hence question 1.

Thanks in advance
