    I've got a bunch of 100w halide ballasts kicking around and I was wondering if anyone has used this wattage. Bulbs are rare-ish, but Hamilton makes a 10k and 14k, My tank is 30"x18"x24" (56 gallon column) so I was thinking two bulbs. The ballasts are pulse start, so should have no issue with the DE bulbs (all modern 100w halides are pulse actually). Just wondering if anyone has experience with these.

    Thanks in advance.
