Anyone out there dim your T5s?

Hi all!

I have an AquaTronica and supposedly they're working on a dimmer unit.

I was thinking of using a single ballast and dimming my bulbs when they come on and go off instead of using two ballasts to divide up the bulbs when they come on and go off. I hope that makes sense.

So... what ballasts can dim T5s? From what I hear, the IceCaps can only dim VHOs.

Thanks much!

Brandon
