I purchased 2 of these MH Ballast today






this is the specification of the ballast

and the ignitor of magnetic ballast systems

But as you see its 50W and there is no 50W Good reef Bulb

what i am thinking of

Can i connect these 2 ballasts in Series so that i can hook 100w MH Bulb? with the right color temp?

[ccCapt]

No. A 50w ballast will fire a 50w bulb. I wouldn't even attempt hooking them together....unless you have a firetruck on stand by.

I agree. You need to get the right one.
