>>We ordered from some non-aquarium lighting place.<< Stephen Boulet made a quick presentation on a DIY lighting hood he made with T-8's. Real impressive. Is the place you ordered from a national distributor? If so, can you share the name? Also, was that an electronic ballast (transformer) for $27. The kind where you don't need a starter for the bulbs? Thanks, Randy.
