I just rigged a pair of electronic Advance ballasts in on my 36" bulbs. HO ballasts, running in the neighborhood of 90 watts each. Screw LOA's, these things rock! Nice, clean, blue, and cheap! I'll just have to wait and see what the lifespan is. They should be fine for a year as far as color goes, so the overall lifespan should be no problem. I thought these ballasts ran 4x48", but they are only for 2x48".....ah well. They are working flawlessly so far.

If this is true, then isn't a fishtank a hole in the air to pour money into? Current Tank Info: 40gal, and a 110 gallon.
