Phoenix bulb with Coralife ballast?
Like the title says, this will work right? A Phoenix 150W 14K with a Coralife 150W Aqualight. Maybe it just won't be super efficient? Any input is appreciated and helpful! Thanks!

I just bought a coralife fixture from a local reefer. He has Phoenix 14k in them and seam to be great for him. Since I'm owner now, I'm more than happy with them. The fixture is runing 2-150W. I'd say go ahead.

It will work fine I used Phoenix bulbs in my Aqualight clamp ons. The only issue I had was the glass is not UV shielded on the clamp on. Coralife bulbs have UV shielded glass like SE bulbs do. I had some issues but they will be fine in the normal Aqualight fixtures.
