It appears that one side of my ballast for my 60" T5 fixture it out.  Currently I have two 65w PC's running off a Workhorse 5 ballast.  Could I use this ballast to run one 60" T5 instead?  I've found that even though the 2 PC's put out more watts than one T5, they just don't seem to have near the power...  my corals like T5's not PC's...

as long as the wattage is the same tim, it should work great.  Also pc's do better with a relfector as well. 

Look up the fulham website and it shows wiring diagrams for the different ballast and bulb combinations.
Was that in there yesterday? Casper--WY windier than ?

Down to a 20, soon to double or nothing
