Replace your old standard fluorescent bulb ballast and upgrade the lighting fixture to hold stronger wattage NO, or higher output VHO, PC, and MH lights, or create a whole new lighting system for your reef aquarium with these replacement and complete light ballast kits. Using an energy efficient electronic ballast not only provides more lighting power, for growing corals in particular, but can be a money saver on the electric bill.
