Help choosing 250w bulbs on icecap ballast (400w radium/galaxy in the middle)

DogueDeBordeaux · 05/18/2012, 02:16 PM

I am going to run a 400w radium on a galaxy ballast in the middle on my 6ft tank. To save on start up costs I will use 2 older icecap 250w ballast, and need help choosing a bulb to blend in with the 400w radium, and still have decent par. All bulbs will be using the lumenbright large pendants.

Sanjay's site is not loading for me to compare par values. I know the XM10k do good on the icecaps. I just do not think they will blend to well with the radium in the middle.
