trouble with T5 retro kit

[JCnflies]

The last thing I need to do before I add my LR is install a T5 retro kit into my canopy. Is there a place I can go to get this done? I'd like to get the rock in as quickly as possible. Thx.

you should be able to install it yourself. If you need a hand let me know. Where do you live.

Thx for getting back to me. I think Ican run the wiring easy enuogh, but I know noting about ballasts. I have 6 bulbs, 4 of which go to a big Ice Cap ballast and 2 of which go to a smaller ballast. The smaller ballast has a plug that would go from it to the outlet, however, the Ice Cap did not come with a plug.

The parts that concern me most involve the ballast. Btw, I live i9n Patchogue.

I live in Holtsville. I just moved in and am in the process of setting up my 210. I can swing by one night and give you a hand.

So you just need to get a 3 prong plug and wire it up to the ballast. There should be 3 wires that connect to the 3 prong plug.

THx to everyone who offered to help My buddy from the cichliddays was going to help me tonight, but that fell thruogh. I just dropped the lights off with an electrician Hopefully they will be done ASAP and I can put the LR in.

I buoght the LR from Fishys and man is sweet looking! It's fully cured and has lots of tunnels, grooves, holes and purple I'm really looking forward to getting it in the tank

Put it in the tank. You dont need the lights to start getting it in there.
