I have been doing this with my 4x36" bulbs - very bright - bulb life is not as long as advertised - early breakage, or bulb failure - but that has also happened with my 2x24s on a normal ballast.

Yeah, that's your problem. Half inch is very restrictive. The RC calculators don't even include half inch as a choice.
