Would this ballast be any good for lighting a 24 inch Optiwhite aquarium, it's just they look okay and are alot cheaper than Arcadia's similar type of lighting.http://www.aquatics-online.co.uk/catalo ... system.asp

Hi all,
I've got a 2 x 24W one of these I bought second hand from another UKAPS member, it is a good luminaire, but it is pretty ugly. I haven't changed the tubes yet, but on the plus side they should be standard length allowing you to get replacements from Lampspecs etc. There is a review here. <http://www.ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=7826>
If I gone for the expense of an opti-white tank, I might be tempted to get a brushed aluminium finish one, like the Arcadia OT2 range, but if you wanted a cheap one of these the Boyu 3x 14W units from EBAY are quite nice for about £50 or they do ones that chuck out a lot more PAR. I've had a 3 x 8W Boyu unit for a couple of years and it is well made.
cheers Darrel
