I have a Hamilton fixture with T5s the bulbs are single ended screw in I would need the same for the fixture and I’m not sure what ballast they are just 2 big black metal boxes
do the say M80 on them anywhere? if so, they are HQI. the hammelton M80 is the gold standard for HQi ballasts. that said, the electronics weigh about 1/3 as much, run cooler and use 25% less electricity. I have 2 select-a-watt Lumatech I'll bring if anyone is interested, the are 250/HQI/400/ 400-super bright


If people are interested, I’ll bring these:

They say M58. I’m assuming I would have to run all new ballast for the Radium’s which is a bummer.

They will run on a M58 ballast but they will start having trouble firing within a year most likely and you will not run them to their full potential.. you would be best served running another lamp look at my WTS thread. I've got a bunch of lamps for sale. I think the 2 HQI ballasts already sold but that galaxy 25o will run them just fine. you'd just have to find one more ballast.

I probably won’t get there until 11:00. Have a business meeting in Long Beach at 8:00 and that should take 1-2 hrs :(

I have a brand new NF-1 AAQUAMAXX Needle Wheel Protein Skimmer. That has never been out of the box that should work. I would take $75 for it. Let me know if I should bring it Saturday.

Big name circulation pumps... Hint.. probably starts with a T...

I will have to have the Brains of the Operation figure this one out.
Sorry my Dyslexia is kicking in.

I figured it out, I was thinking return pumps for some reason.
