Mid-Columbia Saltwater Aquarium Club

April meeting 4/14 @ 7PM - Grant's house

Laura and Jim will be hosting the May meeting this Saturday the 12th and it will be the usual of food, drinks, raffle and fun.
 
Doors will be open at 6:00 pm for social talk and the meeting will start at 7:00.  Parking gets a little tight and the city says you can't park on 4th but there is a parking lot a block away.   Meeting is usually held in the backyard so feel free to bring your favorite lawn chair, weather permitting of course.

If you need address/directions, contact a club member.

Best if you park at Mini Mall (where the spaghetti establishment use to be)
 
You will get to see his new frag tank set up in the making.
 
Hope to see you there!

Looks like my ballast are bad for my PC's.  :twisted: Does anyone out there have any ballasts? Will anything go right for me? geez. Anyway, I have 2 65w straight pin bulbs that I need a ballast for.
Thanks.

I thought those ballast I gave you were 55 watt? Am I wrong?

no, you are right, I have 65w also. The 55w you gave me are square pins, the other ones I have are the 65w coral lifes...

Dashia,

The 55 & 65 watt bulbs and ballasts are interchangeable, the only time you have an issue is with straight pin & square pin bulbs.  You can change the connectors so that all your bulbs are the same.  I would go with square pin as they are easier and cheaper to get.
