Icecap 660 Question?

Has anyone used one? My question is can I run 2 36" bulbs and a 24" on the same ballast, or do they all have to be the same length?

I haven't used one, but I wouldn't think that the individual bulb lengths would matter.

it doesnt matter, the only thing that matters is total bulb length. on the 660 you are limited to 16' of bulb length.

Yeah, everyone seems to be hyping up the IceCap 660 lately. I think I may even end up getting one when I eventually setup some supplemental actinics. It seems versatile and powerful.
