bulb to ballast matchup
I have read and searched this sight and search engines as much as I can for information on ballasts/bulb matches. I have read sanjays website as well and I don't mean to sound dumb (which I'm not) but it's a little over my head. I have read that pfo hqi ballast is the best ballast for a radium bulb (which is the bulb I would like) or an M80 ballast. my question is are all hqi ballasts M80 type? I find this very hard to match all this up. there needs to be some sort of standard. maybe accurate recommendations for bulb and ballast websites. could someone please help me sort this out or offer suggestions

PFO is now out of business, and Sunlight Supply discontinued their Blue Wave M80s.....but either would be fine bought used, they are rock solid. Aquamedic makes the Reeflex Cube, which is also an m80 ballast.
