Vertex Electronic vs PFO Pulse??
Hey everyone! One of my PFO SE 250W ballasts finally crapped out on me this weekend after 4 years of use (plus i bought it second hand). It won't fire bulbs anymore however you can hear it hum. So i have a few questions. First, is it easy to repair? And second, if i go the replacement route should i replace it with another PFO pulse start, (j&l has it on sale for $124 right now) or go with the vertex electronic ballast for $130. Havent hear too much about the vertex ballasts so any input there would be good! It's also worth noting that i am currently lighting the other half of my tank with another PFO ballast (pulse start) i have. So if i go to the vertex ballast will there be a significantly difference in the light between the two halves?
