Awesome!

Thanks Mike

What are you using for reflectors? Did they come flat like that? I'm using spider reflectors and they really limit my VHO mounting options.

 

[fishaholic911]

They are suppost to be spider reflectors but not 100 percent sure because the where built by hamilton. I order them and they said they could make them that day. Boy these things were large and costly!I just mounted them in the center and then screwed the ends down flat so I would have room for the vho's

 

[Satori]

I guess that's the difference. I didn't flatten mine out. I guess if I get a larger ballast that can fire 3 bulbs, I'll have to flatten them out to get the third one in there.

 

[fishaholic911]

Just get another 430 and then you can run 4. I will be running 4 72 inch vho's powered by 2 icecap 430's

 

[Satori]

That's not a bad idea either. Here I am thinking of running 3.

4 makes more sense. Thanks for my new plan!

 

[fishaholic911]

You can find used Icecap ballest for sale all the time and they usually last a very long time. If you run 2 and 1 goes out you have time to send it out for repair ( Icecap can fix there ballest for around 40 bucks )

 

[Satori]

My new plan sounds better all the time.

 

[SWSaltwater]

wow, 7 weeks for a lee mar seems long. they must have broke it. Usually a 3 week turnaround.

 

[fishaholic911]

They did brake it. I found out it was on the same truck for delivery as mike's but some how it got damaged so the took it back for repair. They said I will have it next thursday

 

[Satori]

Ouch. When my first one broke, it took another 5 weeks to get the next one...

I really hope that doesn't happen with you.

 

[fishaholic911]

Me to

 

[Satori]

Oh, and not to mention what Ed did when I went to pick it up the second time. He got there first. It was out in the parking lot and he was checking it out when I pulled up. He looked at me and said "It's broke." My heart fell before he laughed.

 

[fishaholic911]

That is cruel!!! I would have done the same thing lol

 

[fishaholic911]

My sump came in yesterday. It only took 6 days

 

[fishaholicWife]

All I know is that if I could have a robot made in my image for times like these, I would. That way the robot could repeat these words for me when the tank doesn't come in. "Yes Dear" "I know dear" "I understand honey" "YOU POOR THING"

 

[fishaholic911]

Week 8 and no tank! Lee Mar sucks! The only thing that makes it a little easier is they are taking 200 bucks off.

 

[Satori]

That's cool about the discount, but man, that still sucks. Does your truck come on Wednesdays? Both times I got my tank, the truck came on Thursday.

**EDIT***
I take that back. The second time was on a Tuesday.
