Hi,

I would like to purchase one of these 2 ballasts for my 33 gallon. Just wanted to see which one would be better. I did some research(reading posts and articles on the net) and they seem to be pretty similar.

Any help is welcome.

thanks

Dont know much about URI A4, but with IC 660, you can mix and match different bulb types.
ie. NO, VHO, PC, T5. Will overdrive the bulbs as well...

Or you can save a lot of cash by using a workhorse 7 or 2 depending on what you want to run for lights.

Thanks for the help

I was thinking about running VHO's and from what I read, URI vho's have a reflector in them, opposed to regular vho's. It seemed that people liked uri more in general, so thats why I was wondering.

As for workhorse 7 or 2, I didn't do research on those ballsts, could someone give me a bit more info on them? Thanks
