Can i run 2 hoods with the same ballast or would i need a second ballast?

No. Each ballast powers a single bulb only. The hood is just the reflector and bulb socket, in one unit housed under glass. The two bulbs included are Metal Halide for vegetative growth... and High Pressure Sodium for flowering.

No, you can not run two hoods with this ballast. I would also reccomend a that you go with another company. The two I-Power ballasts I purchased did not last more that a year before blowing out and almost burning my house down. Apollo ballasts are a good buy and they are about the same price. Another suggestion would be to get a light moving rail and get a growzilla hood that has 2 lights in one hood!

Your existing fixtures work. However they have to be required. I have two types and each set has its own special wiring... And will not work with fl ballast.

I did the same thing. Just removed old ballast and used existing wire nuts to connect the new one. Very simple process. Just make sure the fixture is unplugged or disconnected.

I would get two lights, one for each tray if that is your only choice and within budget. Definitely grab a reflector hood too. Although 1 bulb could work, I feel that 1 bulb would be bare minimum and you would want to move the trays around to help distribute the light evenly in a 1 light set up. I personally use 3 of these lights for 1 tray, for max/best results. But then I tend to over do things. =) Good luck!

I have these lighting up 2 dead corners in my 265 gal reef. based on where mine are placed I think you would need no more than 2. try one first holding over tank before installation to see how it works. you can always return the second if not needed. good luck.

You can daisy chain as many as you have. It is just a pass through.No info on the ballast

It's just 1 ballast. I'd recommend looking at www.theretrofitsource.com their ballasts are a bit more expensive but are much better quality

I don't know. You will need to look at the existing ballast for a number, then go to the site and search for that number. Any substitutes or the original should be shown. Hope this helps.

With that tank you will need two of them. One on each side... I have a 55gallon tank and one works fine...

I believe any hid ballast would work. They should range between $10-$15. I got the cheaper one and a year later still working

Yes you'll need 2 ballast one for each light, If you check Amazon site there are packages that contain the ballast and bulbs together.

you will have to bypass ballast completely, especially if installing more then one, mine included instructions

I bought two hoods for a standard 55 gallon aquarium. It should also work on a 20/29 high tank as well. At work so don't have specs. Nice hood but bulbs they give you are not as bright as I thought .

For my fusion the ballast connected to the stock cable for my headlight unit. I purchased these a while ago and can't remember if it came with any other cables. I'm sure if you email the seller he or she can answer that question for you :)

I am not sure. You should be able to get the Manufacture number off the ballast in there now.
