one more question...
GCA, i was wondering, i have a "stockpile" of 2 bulb electronic ballasts for bulbs ranging from 24"-96". Could i use some of these to overdrive smaller bulbs. I noticed you said you had a 2f32t8 ballast overdriving 2 18" bulbs for 60 watts? I thought the output only doubled per bulb if they were overdriven 4X. This is so confusing but fun!!! Basically i was wondering if i used a 2f32 ballast, could i overdrive a 18" bulb to produce enough wattage for a 10gal tank (30 watts would be more than enough). Thanks,
Mason
