I agree ReefSparky... there's no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater... Vertex has a pretty website, but I can't tell you much else about...
This is one of those experiences that makes it seem like people just suck... the thing is, it's not just this hobby, there are folks like this in the...
horkn, this is still very difficult to distinguish what your friend is using. Are you sure he has e-ballasts plugged into GFCI's? If so, what...
horkn, can you find your ballast model number on this page of Fulham Workhorse ballasts: Fulham - SpecSheets There are about 40 different ones!
I emailed the company using the form on the Vertex Aquaristik website last night, but they haven't responded... they do not provide any other contact...
horkn, I don't know enough about the product specs of even nearly a fraction of all the ballasts out there to make a call in any way about what your...
cool! looking forward to this update!
Well, I got an orange spot diamond goby several days ago... he spent the first day in hiding... the second day he cleaned up about 75% of my sandbed...

Zach, I know this would mean you'd have to drop some coin... but perhaps you could run GFCI's individually... Since you're saying the ballast is...
Agreed. Sorry, I was talking about use with a electronic ballast only... just found this article on electronic ballasts and leakage current from...
This is still certainly possible. Since the engineer at Phillips told me that it's due to the leakage current, it may be possible to REMOVE the EMI...
:confused:
CFL = compact flourescent. This is what I run on my fuge: [IMG]
heheh... no, what I'm talking about is conducted RFI emissions that should be filtered out of electronic ballasts. Electronic ballasts use a...
your observations may be correct, I could never keep my 55G stable that I had years ago for many reasons (no sump, no overflow, peripherals too...
What I am saying applies to electronic ballasts, not magnetic ballasts... the magnetic ballasts are well filtered by the transformers they use (hence...
