I purchased 2 mini-pendants about 4 years ago and I am just now getting the chance to setup my tank - long story...
About 4 years ago I purchased what was supposed to be two 250 Watt HQI Double End PFO Mini Pendant from www.reeftropicals.com. That website is no longer in existence.
I also bought two Icecap 250-MH ballasts (new style at that time) from them.
One of the recommended bulbs for this setup was the Usio UHI-250 UV-P. I have two of those. Today when I went to put in the bulbs, I discovered that the pendants are not the same. They have two different light sockets. I am attaching pictures of both sockets. The bulbs I have fit into one and not the other as you can see in the pics.
Can someone tell me what kind of bulb to get for the other socket type? Is there any way to tell if these are 250 Watt fixtures? The sockets are all four labeled VS 5kV pulse rated 1000W 600V.
Thanks for the help.
