    I have been looking for a new 150 watt corlife ballast. All the places I call are out of stock and have no ideal when the new ones will arrive. Is there a different brand or type of set up I can use. The MH light is the aqualight pro 150 watt 48 inches long. Also, since one has gone bad should I replace the other one as well?

    i dont think you need to replace the other.

    now does coralife ballast does it have a plug or is it directly wired into the lamp. if it has a plug you could just replace it with this or similar 150/175 watt Single Electronic Ballast- Coralvue - CV175B

    really any ballast rated for a 150 can replace it if its external
