Is it worth it to buy the e-ballast over a pulse strike m135 coil ballast for use with the ushio, and if so, why? The e-ballast is almost $40 more.

If I get a coil ballast for the ushio, do I want a "reactor" or "CWS" ballast. I assume I want the 120v.

Thanks for any info.

CWA if you get a coil.

I have an icecap 660 electronic balast used for aquarium lighting, it powers the florescent lights used for reef tanks and is rated up to 440w, I should be able to rewire this to acommodate a ushio bulb correct?
