No, most likely you'll have to rewire and change the ballast.  And use different (VHO) bulbs.  You might want to check out the options of overdriving your NO bulbs.  The thread is here: http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=11&TopicID=331&PagePosition=1 .

Alot of folks have been getting the Workhorse 5 or 7 ballasts. The WH7 will run up to 220 watts, and the WH5 will do up to 128 watts. Everyone I know who is using them are extremely happy with them.  I believe the WH7 goes for around $45 at Commercial lighting in SLC.
