I dug out my ole Icecap ballast, 4 48" tube set up I had on my 75 about 6 years ago. It's an Icecap 660, and I had it running 4 tubes. I figured I didn't need that much for my discus tank, so I rewired the end caps for two tubes.
Amazingly, and to my utter disbelief, all the tubes were still in great shape! Still burn brightly! Now, I gotta build a new hood to house these lights. A woodworker pal of mine built the last one for me. I'm no carpenter, but can handle simple tasks.
What are your suggestions for hood plans, and what type of tubes would you run on this setup?
