T5 Ballast

JR's Reef · Mar 25, 2009

What's a good T5 ballast? I will be running 24w bulbs on it and its for a 20H tank that will used as a frag tank. I have a Icecap but overdiven them will be to much i think. LMK what yall think and Thanks in advance

i hear good things about work horse ballasts

Workhorse or Advance ballasts. Advance is actually what they use in TEK lights.

i like the advance one so far works great, does make much if any nose, not too hot, have had it for like almost 2 years.

I vote IceCap, I use them. They are WAY brighter then workhorse for sure!

I agree with Poseidon I am a huge fan of overdriving t-5's the bulbs are a lot brighter and with some bulbs you get a better more vibrant spectrum usually.
