Running 1 bulb on a dual ballast

Bah, it's inside, no? I won't tell anyone to look inside your ballast case..

I guess I always COULD run both pendants on the 60G.....you think 500W of MH is too much for a 24x24?

Knowing my addiction to gizmos and brightly lit tanks, I'd probably run both, as long as there were no heat issues and everything was acclimated and all that. But if it's enough with one, or you just want to run one ... that's fine. I myself wouldn't have a "hot" ballast without a lamp though. If you were really kinda handy you could retrofit a second switch onto that thing and then you'd never have to spend a second thought on it. I dunno, just an idea...
