Different ballasts in the same order.

[joefish]

Hi guys ,

I just got my ballast and opened them up . They are the
I.C . 150w .

One is labled metro and the other hatch . I'm worried when I fire them up the bulbs will look different .

I posted it in the IC forum too , But I'm going a little nutty trying to set up my new tank so I can take down the old one . It has to get done sooner then later .

Thanks ,
Joe

Hi Joe,

Icecap tells us they are the same specs, just two factories they use. We didn't even know they had different ones until a few weeks ago when we had a customer think they received the wrong ballast compared to our picture, we found out then they go back and fourth.

I would go ahead and setup and see if you see any difference, if you do, we'll exchange. Icecap has them on backorder right now, been waiting few weeks for our order. So if they look different, we'll have to wait and see what type we get and go from there.

thanks
