I just got 2 175 watt pendants with ballasts so i'm going to be putting them on my 55gal tank soon. Now the outlet near the tank is completely full except for the outlet strip i have. Would this be ok to plug these two ballasts into? Also, i have 4x55w pc's currently on the tank....should i...

Hey guys, haven't been to the board in a while but just had a random question. I have an old reptile hood that is 48 inches long and is perfect size for my tank. It supports a 40 watt NO florescent and has 3 fixtures for incandescent bulbs. I looked and the moguls are rated for 660W each...

Here goes nothing....this is my first pic post.

Hi everyone, You might have seen me asking about metal halide/compact retro fits on the board the last couple of days. Well I was changing my reptile's light bulbs and I notice that the hood is similar to a fish tanks'. It has places for 4 incandescent bulbs and one florescent. An idea popped...

I am on the verge of buying either a metal halide/florescent or a pc light setup. My existing light setup consists of 3 40watt no florescents. I have two all-glass hoods, one is a twin tube and the other is single. I was just wondering if i should go with a retro kit or would it be easier to get...
