Yes they will. Just get a 400w 20k radium and your good to go!

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

if you check craigslist, We have a lot of tomato growers here in California.

It can work on a reef with the right bulbs. 400 watt metal hailides are not hard to find for the reef tank. The reflectors are not the greatest but should still work. I have run 400 watters in the past keep good air flow to remove as much heat as possible

I could be wrong bu i do t think they make reef friendly bulbs for the ansi s 51 ballast? Thought it was only hps bulbs for the aforementioned tomatoes

Except those are M59 ballast. It says they are designed for 400 watt MH bulbs....

Here is some info running popular bulbs with those ballasts. It should work great.

Just get the right type of MH bulbs. I used and loved the Ph 14Ks.
