    Since I have had no luck on 24in T5 we will see what a anyone has for a Metal Halide fixture.  I do not want to spend a ton because I will most likely be going to LEDs withing a couple months or so.

    yeah ballast and everything is good, its a hanging fixture. i bought the reflector new and the ballast used. looking at round 100. i tried it on the gereds old frag tank and it was just to much. using T5's on it now and working great.
