ok i have figured out the answer to my last ?, read through 11 pages of this thread, wheew!!!

Now i have a few questions.
I have a 36" wide tank and currentl;y am using 24" bulbs.
1. Should i continue using the 24" bulbs and stager them, then OD them. If so what ballast should I get and how should i wire them, i read somewhere that it had to be in series, explain on that some please. I would like to run 4 24" bulbs staggered at 4x, all help appreciated.

2. If i want to switch to using 36" bulbs then what kind of ballast do i need to get for them so i can run a few bulbs at 4x


Thanks
Tim
