Just checked em, thanks Tony.. It will take 2 - 3 weeks.. Too long for me, my tank it with only 1 light at the moment.

Any other ideas??? If nothing else then I guess I have no choice.. nothing on EBay either, I thought I would find it there.

Could someone lend you a ballast temporarily maybe while the part comes in?

How about a hydroponics shop, Al brite lighting? Hey this may be a perfect time to upgrade to an electronic ballast.

Got it late today from Gescan. It takes about 15 - 20 secs before the bulb fires up tho. Not sure if that is an indication of anything?

If anyone knows if this is normal or not let me know. I don't need something blowing up

Thanks for everyones help!
