interference from MH ballast?

[know-it-all]

I'm doing pretty good,
Added a 92 corner tank to the room

My MH bulb just cracked this morning, so that sucks
(guess you can't tighten them that much )

OK, I just added a ground from the mogal socket to the ballast,
the ballast already has a ground going to the house

turn on tv and.....


still have lines

Another thing you might try is physically moving the ballasts away from each other. If I recall my situation correctly, this was also part of the problem. At least it's worth a try.

Mine happened with one ballast or two.

Do you have magnetic, or electronic ballasts?

I have (2) 250w "ARO"? electronic ballasts from hellolights.com

I only have 1 elecrontic ballast from hellolights

I hope I don't have any problems. I am planning on putting my tank right next to the TV. I have 2 dedicated circuits ran for the tank, so hopefully that will help.

from everything I've read, this is the only problem with electronic ballast's

the use less energy, give off less heat,
but may interfere with electical equipment

I had two dedicated circuits ran for my tank but still get the lines. I will check the grounds and see if that fixes the problem. Let me know how yours turns out.
