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. Recommended wattage for these are 150 however. I think i know the answer to my question but please just confirm it with me. The reason i can't use this hood with just 2 - 150 watt metal halides is because it doesn't have a seperate metal halide ballast that will "fire" up. Thanks guys let me know! By the way i have the link to the exact hood i have if you want to check it out.
