Need a new ballast - But where to get? - Aquarium Advice

Tiffi · 09-10-2005, 10:51 AM

I've been surfing the net for a while now and didn't find anything that said "for two 65W Compact Flourescent".
My ballast in my hood stopped working a day ago and I need light for my poor plants. I have "rented" a light fixture from petsmart, but it's only very low light and...

Please help me to find the ballast

! It's a ballast for two 65W [acronym:f6f11f1354="Compact Flourescent"]CF[/acronym:f6f11f1354], 4-pin, straight not square base. Anybody any ideas?
