yeah I'm running it off of a 22.5uF cap already (thats what HelloLights sent with the ballast to begin with....).....

I'm really happy with how much light I'm getting........the macros, zoanthids, and star polups are really open and looking good (250Watts over a 20gal is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY overkill but I am going to buy a 150gal when I go to work this summer so I didnt want to waste money on a 175Watt now only to buy 250Watts later........)....


the only down side I see is the micro is growing like crazy (don't have a skimmer on this 20gal (again....didn't want to buy something for this and then turn around and buy again this summer)....have to clean the glass almost every other day.....the hermits like it though....
