    I have new bulbs (straigh pin) but my ballast is bad, or won't light these bulbs. Anyone have such a beast laying around?

    I have a coralife 2x 65 actinic-10,000k. used for about 3 weeks, now have HQI. even has a brand new 10,000k spare bulb
    http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produ...atid=12109
    I'd sell it for 125  ( the spare bulb cost me 22)
    It would even come with a small piece of wood!
    (I broke a leg on it the first day)
    I just found a post where I just got these. 3/20 so I used it about 2 weeks actually

    Would ballast and endcaps be ok or are u needing an entire fixture? I know about a workhorse 5 ballast with endcaps all wired up for a fair price. I bought one last week and he has 2 left and I'm getting one more if the other will work for u let me know illnpick both up.

    Let me know on that skimmer chris if its going to work we can just do that trade i text you or ill just buy them both and split with joel. Ive got that one wired up with one 36w actinic on both side of my 175 that i got from you and its sooooooooo cool looking! Im going to wire the other one up with end caps right next to this one with 50/50 bulbs and should be perfect.

    Fishyness, that is a good deal. But I have a reflector so I am going to try the ballast route I think. Thanks.
    Chris, any chance you have run 2 Coralife 65W PC bulbs with that ballast? I have two ballast that should run these bulbs, but it seems they don't. Justin and I can figure out how to get together on these.

    Well I don't know. Does anyone know if this will light these bulbs, it is only 2 watts shy. I have no idea though.

    I sent u an email... Bring those bulbs with u tomoro and u can swing by and plug them in. If the ballast wasn't mounted in my hood I'd bring it up to ur work. Sorry...

    yes it will light up with no problem. I have even before used 65 watt in 96 watt ballasts with no problem. So 2 watts wont matter
