So the ballast went bad in my tank and I was wondering if anyone knows where to get a replacement. The last ballast that I had in there was the Workhorse 30. Its the style that has the external ballast box and its kinda small. Home Depot ballasts are too long and won't fit in the box. ------------- 5 gal fluval spec v http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=65727&KW=&PID=531710&title=my-new-little-one#531710 12 gallon jbj nanocube reef Stansbury Park (Tooele Area) |

Aloha Gary, Commercial Lighting Supply (~2700 S. 900 W.) carries Fulham Workhorse ballasts and they are easily bought from online suppliers. I have worked with Workhorse ballasts on more DIY and factory made lights than I can count. There is a WH 3 and a WH 33 and they are pretty much interchangeable just different size/shape and different wire configurations. Here is the Fulham spec sheet. http://horse.fulham.com/specs-literature/specification-sheets/" rel="nofollow - http://horse.fulham.com/specs-literature/specification-sheets/ Here is the wiring diagrams page. http://horse.fulham.com/contact-us/wiring-diagrams/" rel="nofollow - http://horse.fulham.com/contact-us/wiring-diagrams/ Mark  ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member
