400W Radiums?
I run 3X400W Radium 20Ks on my 125G SPS tank but always like to poke around in here for talk about bulbs. I never hear anyone talk about radiums anymore, just the phoenix, XM, hamilton, CV, etc. I guess my question is "Is there something wrong with Radiums these days? Or are the people burning them just not talking about it?" =)
I feel like I missed a memo or something... any thoughts? |

I think that it's not performance. It's the fac that you have to change them every six months. Expensive!
