Btw bros, anyone got any cheap reccommandation for T5 HO (2 feet 24 watt) with hood and tubes all?

Babarik has done a upgrade T5 to my jebo tank's canopy...good service at a very reasonable cost...

Monsterz1975,

so did you managed to get the eballast mounted with your dymax? External??

Btw, the original eballast is at the switch or behind the reflector?? I have not open my unit yet..so I just see you have any clue to advise me.

any picture?

Thanks

You tested with Aquaz with the original cheapo ballast and it works..then what is the reason for changing ballast?? it is not as bright??
..
Now you have found another 39W or 55W E-ballast with shield that can fit externally or slim enough to fit behind the reflector??

I have one spare Dymax T5 light set now that can do some modification work immediately....
