Lighting ? and I may have bulbs for sale

[AquAsylum]

Ok...may have made a purchase too hastily- imagine that! We have an icecap 660 ballast for our 120, which is, of course 60" long. I never bothered to think that we might do anything other than run 3 60" bulbs, so I got all of the parts to do that, including the bulbs. Now that we're at assembly time, I think we maybe should run 4 48" bulbs instead. What do you think?

If that's the way to go, I'll have three 60" VHO bulbs to sell- I'll post the specs later if anyone is interested.

Its really up to u. Why not use the set-up u have now?

Good answer! We decided on that this morning- it comes down to 420 watts vs 440 watts and we really don't want the shadows on the ends. We'll probably add more later, and it's too much trouble for not enough benefit to change at this point.

Now we just have to cross our fingers that we can figure out the ballast :)
