I recently upgraded my MH ballast from a standard 250 one to a 400 hqi. with this ballast i purchased radium bulbs 20k. i think they're the most beautiful bulbs in the world, at least compared to the semi green aqualine 13k bulbs i was using. anyhow...
-are there any precautions i need to take with switching these bulbs?
-will my algae buildup be greater because of the higher wattage even though its bluer light?
-will the electricity bill be significantly higher? i would think not because the ballast is more energy efficient.
please advise.
