coralife mini compact fluorescent 20 watt ballast

[yiorgo]

I purchased two coralife mini compact fluorescent 20 watt (50/50) bulbs for my 6 gallon mini reef. What kind of ballast do I need to run it ? Can I find one in home depot ?

Thanks,

Yiorgo

That page lists a lot of CoraLife lamps. I didn't see a 20 W bulb, though. Maybe you mean 18 W or 20"?

are they screw bulbs? if they are, only screw it in a socket of it size.
also they have built in ballast.
