I want to light 2 Five gallon tanks that I have for breeding and such. But do not want to have to spend extra cash if I can use what I have now...
I have a not so reflective dual 4 foot shop light fixture. Can I take apart the light and snip (or remove) the piggy back wires off the trailing bulb sockets to just get the MAIN bulb to light?
Is this dangerous to the balast? Will it work?It will drop the watts from 80 to 40 so I can light the smaller tanks without overheating them. Even though at 4 watts per gallon, I still think I am going to have issues.... Any suggestions???
Any info would be usefull...
Thanks alot..
