    Hi guys, do you know of any boyu agents that I can speak with regarding to technical specs of the ballast for the above mentioned tank.
    Alternatively, if you know that would just be great.

    I want to upgrade the lighting (higher watt tubes) and unless I'm mistaken, if the ballast cannot support it ... it would be pointless putting in stronger tubes no?

    @Dave Abes. Hope this helps. Looks like it is two x 20w tubes.

    Hi Leen, thanks for that.

    I was actually looking for the T8 Ballast (power unit) details.
    Such as what max wattage it supports so I can upgrade the lighting.

    @Dave Abes. I think that is the recommended wattage. Can you not open the covers and see what the rating is on the ballast ?

    I'll have to dismantle the hood.
    I haven't decided weather I'm going to do that or not yet...:).. but yeah, waiting on Boyu to get back to me... if not I may just have to.

    Alternatively...go for the 220v LED Tubes.

    (Some rewiring will be necessary...)
