Hi folks,
Just picked up a canopy for my 90 oceanic. The canopy has retrofit fixtures with a pair of MH/T5's and the T5's have this connection. Does anyone know what this is? I believe the guy I bought it from said these are Icecap fixtures, but of course - they didn't come with ballasts. Is this an attachment to a 430? I'm not sure I want to overdrive my bulbs given how much shorter their lifespan will be (it's like 6 months vs. 10, no?).
Anyway, just looking for options. I'd like to try for LPS/SPS mixed reef. The MH are 250w moguls. I'm thinking Lumatek ballasts for those.
