Quick question ( or I hope it is), I just purchased a used 75 gal reef tank set up and have a couple of questions on Metal halide bulbs. I pretty much understand the different wattage issues, but is there different base sizes on the bulbs depending on what type of outlet you have? I noticed while researching that they mention mogul and E-49 bases on the bulbs. My outlet and ballast is meant for a 400 watt bulb and appears to fit what I would consider a large bulb base into. There is no writing on the lamp itself. Can anyone help me figure what type of buld I need to get for my set up? Thanks , Ryan in Saratoga Springs.
P.S. ballast is for an m-59 metal halide lamp ------------- The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Edmund Burke 1729-1797 Ryan Murdock Saratoga Springs 90 gal 12 gal seahorse tank |
