    I had an overflow issue last night with my HOB Fuge, it shorted out one of my metal halide ballast's so I am only running on MH. I was curious if anyone know's where I can find a replacement for an oddyssea mh-pc fixture with 760 watts. I would really love some input on this.

    IMO you are going to need to replace those ballasts anyways. I would replace both with a better ballast. I just up-graded my ballasts to lumatek and ut was very affordable. Major difference also.

    I read that another ballast is good too, but I don't remember if it was Bluewave or Ice Cap. I remember someone calling Ice Cap as "Ice Crap" once, but everything has something bad said about it, no matter how good it really is.
