[achillesheel]

will the ice cap 660 ballast (or even the 430) run the giesman t5ho bulbs? and if so what kind of end caps do i need and where would i get them?

i have a vho set up and am looking to cut some energy costs. any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes it will. Check in the Ice Cap forum. Some older units might not run T5s properly. You use standard T5 endcaps. The 660 will overdrive T5 lamps. Dont forget to get some good reflectors. Ice Caps are very good.

I like ReefGeek. Really good for T5 stuff.
