Wow. Looks good though John.
You know on my 30 I had a black cloth behind it.
If it bothers you still in a few days, I found that worked well. Who makes that light? | |

WOW! looks great. I was going to buy there Dual 250 watt retro kit. It comes with the Catalina MH bulbs and Advanced M58 MH ballasts. Is that the same brand bulbs and ballast you got with yours, and are you happy with it? | |

Thank You Midnight Madman
The ballast says
CA HID Ballast
High Power factor 90%
class p with thermoprotection
M-400-1205 h-2
And the MH bulbs I purchased separately from Sun Aquatics
And I have only had it set up for 1 day but I am happy with it so far  .................... John | |
