Looking to borrow or loan a 250w MH electronic ballast that plugs into iec connectors. Lmk
 
Chris
I have a coralvue. You can come and try it out. I don’t know the connector though.

Awesome thanks
 
I have a 250w mh aqua medic ballasts that the plug looks like the same as mine. Can meet up on Sunday
 
It’s ok bud
 
Actually, I have an extra power bar for the profilux as you can see in the bin. Do you want to try the older version? It might be more current handling than the new one.
 
Update on the situation
The coralvue ballast worked fine no problem.
The reefbrite ballast is the problem. It uses a microprocessor that tries to adjust the current all the time and I believe the power bar is reading it as a bad thing. The light flickers when it’s on the ghl power bar until the power bar shuts down.
 
Buying a m80 ballast to run the radium to its potential. I’ll feel bad for my corals lol
 
I actually prefer the bluer spectrum for Radium on E- ballast.
Give it a try and you may like it.
The “full potential” people talking about online is just over drive the bulb. It will run hotter, and whiter.

I am running it at 2.1 amps currently.
 
2.1 A on an electronic ballast?

On a M80, it will draw 3A.
