Odd Ballast Question

Sounds like a fairly standard fluorescent fixture. I doubt that it would be suitable for growing coral frags, but it may be useful over a refugium growing macro algae, chaeto, etc.

Yep, sounds like a T12 ballast. I believe that T12's will soon be out of production if they aren't already. The F40 indicates a 40 watt lamp. They normally will fire 34 or 40 lamps. As mentioned you won't get much use from it unless you want to grow stuff in your fuge with it.

Thanks guys, I wonder why she had it placed where she did. Pretty odd. I guess I'll just use it to light my basement... until production stops on these bulbs lol.
