i'm looking for someone in the club to help me test a dimmer...

i bought the dimmer off of ebay, because it sounded really cool. However the guy neglected to say that it worked really poorly with a 4 bulb setup ( he actually said that he was running it on the exact same setup that i have ).

anyway... they guy is being a HUGE jerk and wont take the dimmer back and i don’t have any way to test it to see if it really will work fine on a 2 bulb setup - like it was made for. i would like to relist it on ebay, but i want to be 100% sure that it actually works. So, does anyone have a 2 bulb VHO setup on either an IceCap 660 or 430 that could help me test this dimmer out?

it would be great if it were up north around the ogden area ... but not nesesary.

coreyk,

I have a e 2 bulb IceCap setup. However, my ballast is a model 450 (older). I'm not sure if the dimmer is compatible. You're welcome to come up and give it a try.

I too have a 2 bulb setup with an Icecap 660.  You're welcome to test it out here.

awsome ... thanks guys!

i'm going to get together with eric this week and take some pics of his tank,i think we'll be able to test it out then.  i also realized that i could just bring my ballast along. so, all i really needed was a 2 bulb setup that fit my ballast. duh! if his setup doesnt work or we dont get a chance to test it while i'm there i'll give one of you a call. thanks!
