About LinkBacksI am in process of upgrading a 150w hqi de fixture to a 250w de hqi. I purchased a coralvue electronic ballast, new 250w mogals and a new 250w 10k XM de bulb. I hooked everything up the same as it was originaly and still no lights?? I tested each mogal by using a watt meter, touched one mogal and the ground, I received 54 on one and 67 on the other. Is this correct? When I touch both mogals at the same time I receive 0??? I am not an electrician by any means of the word but I thought this would be easy enough. The only thing I can think is that the bulb is bad? I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas before I complain to the company where I purchased the bulb. Please help!

I'm lighting challenged, sorry Ryan.

Hmmm... now that the tank is full, I could convert the pool to saltwater...
