bulbs
i know it is going to be quite a while before i need to change the bulbs on my lighting. but i was just wondering if i can do this this in the future or not. i now have a corallife aqualite PC's which has 4 x 65 watts, i was thinking about changing them to a 96 watt bulbs instead of the 65. will the ballasts power the bulbs or is it safe to do this?

Re: bulbs
It all depends on the ballast in the unit.

Re: bulbs
I would be surprised if you could power up 96 watts on a 65watt system, however, as chris said contact corallife to be sure. the thing you have to be carful of is if you do not power correctly the bulbs spectrum is be off and the life of the bulb will questionable. let us know what you find out. (especially if im wrong on this one)
