    I have a Oddysea 48" MH/PC combo light. Love it by the way ;D. But Im getting ready to replace the MH ballasts with Icecaps. My question is can I upgrade the Ballest and Bulbs to 400W ? If I can is there anything else I need besides the Ballasts and bulbs ? Thanks in advance.

    Forgot to add I just got a 150G Oceanic RR tank that this is going on. Build thread with pics to follow soon. :eek: Huge upgrade from my 75g now.

    I know when I went from 175w to 250w the bulb socket was different. Not sure about 400s.
