Sanjay,
Just started back in the hobby again. Glad to see you are still heavily involved.
I have a question for you. I am starting an acropora tank, and I would like to try the 12000K CoralVue 400watt bulbs, will my old M59 ballasts give me reasonable performance, or should I change to new ballasts, and if yes, what type?
Thanks for you help.

ps...how's the Penn State tank doing?
