Sunlight T5 help

[bksmith]

I bought a Sunlight Tek Light T5 Retro kit to use for actinics on my 92G corner reef. Now I have two problems

1) I tried to get my Lfs to install it to a wooden board, they basically told me the kit sucked, said they'd had a lot of problems with the electronic ballast it comes with - Accustart 5 electronic ballast.

2) Even if I do use it, it came with no directions and I havent a clue how to install

Can someone help me out here a bit.

Thanks

Where did you buy the kit from? I'm sure if you email the guy at reefgeek he'll email you some directions for installation. I bought my retros from him, he's really friendly.

As for the wooden board, I retroed my endcaps to my existing hood by just screwing it on. You can put the ballast in a seperate location. I bet there's a wiring diagram on the ballasts.

Any comments/experience with the Accustart 5 ballast?

Oh, in answer to your question - Premium Aquatics.
