I think I fried my IceCap as I tried to use a 4 bulb (T5's and URI's) combination at 60" each. The max you can use is only 16ft. Anyhow, I am going through a battle trying to wire this baby up and have had no luck. So I thinking that I fried my ballast. More info on my dilema here:

Can anyone point me to someone here locally who I can purchase a new one? Marinedepot has them, but it would 5 days until I get it. If I get it rushed, it would be the same as probably buying one locally. Thanks!

I know John at Global does. Another option is to contact IceCap and get them to fix it. Odds are they can fix it fast, and cheaper than a brand new unit. Im sure you could find someone to loan you one till yours gets fixed if needed.

Thanks for your help guys.

Global had the best price in town for $170! That is GOOD! I called around and Aquatic Center wanted $250! OUCH! John @ Global was even cheaper than Fish land and they wanted $185. I just bought it :) Im going to send the other one in too for repairs so I can have two and use one for my prop tank. :)

Glad you got the best deal for you. Proves once again that every price is negotiable. :wink:

I GOT IT!! ITS WORKING! YEA!! IM so happY!! This was 3 days of frustration if you happened to look at my RC thread! I took Johns (Global) advice and rewired the entire thing replacing everything with new ones including the harness. Oh what a releif! Now i have 2 URI 60" bulbs and one T5 Blue (450nm) 60". This makes a total of 400w of supplemental actinics! :) :)

Now I am thinking that the other IceCap 660 is still good. :)
Thanks again everyone for your help!
