  1. hi hope that this helps to clear some doubt on eballast. there are basically two type of circuit the switch-start (glow-start) FL circuit and the Electronic Ballast circuits when compared the Eballast have the following advantages: 1) Compatibility with ordinary fluorescent tubes 2) reduced power consumption 3) extended lamp life 4) Fast flicker-free starting 5) Cut-out to stop attempts to start failed tube 6) cannot be replaced by incorrect starter The only disadvantage is of its high cost... i am not sure how come it cost, will check it out with my dad. I don't think it is possible to ungrade using a existing FL casing unless u want to take out the wire and connect it out yourself. Anyway it is possible. if it is for me, i will surely re-wired my own lighting system... since i study electrical engineering... cheers

  3. well, i started keeping marine fish about 3 weeks ago... got brought in by a friend and he tells me about the many things about marine life.... about the ammonia level... then the nitrite then the nitrate... all this really required anyone to start this, to do some research or readings... well, for me i decided not to buy any anemones for the next one year.. until i can confirmed that my tank is really mature..... currently got a 2 ft tank and just got a 4 feet tank last week.... my 2 ft tank is getting on fine. and i am cycling my 4 feet tank now.... i don't want to cause my fish to die......
