I think that I just toasted my ballast that drives my 2 54 watt t5 bulbs.  Is there some sort of industrial lighting supply place in Utah/SLC county where I might be able to pick a replacement up.  I had a Philips Advanced model, and it worked great.  I can't figure out what is wrong with it.  I took it apart and couldn't see any visible signs as to why it isn't working, but I can't get any current out of the wires that lead to the bulbs.

You can find workhorse ballasts at most the larger electronic places (if I remember right) or order one off of ebay/online and have it in a few days.
Was that in there yesterday? Casper--WY windier than ?

Down to a 20, soon to double or nothing

Try a large electrical supply house like C.E.D. or Codale

I don't think any of the LFS down here carry spec T5 ballasts.

I would contact Reefgeek and get the ballasts they carry. It takes like two days to get stuff from them.

Commercial Lighting Supply is the best source I know of. They are about 2600 S. on 900 W. Look on www.fulham.com for which ballast will run the size of light you have.

Thanks for all of your posts, I was able to find what I needed at CED.  The lights are back on and the corals are happy again. :)
