Sorry to bother everyone but I have a simple question.

In the instructions the kit states there should be at least one foot, but not more than 8 (or was it 12?) feet, between the endcap and ballast. Are the measuring from the endcap itself to the ballast or from the end of the endcap cord to the ballast? Do they mean one foot as in just the ballast wires or a combination of both the endcap wires and ballast wires?

Make it long enough so it's one foot minimum from the closest point in question, and you're home free! Worse case scenario, call Kim at ahs, he's a super nice guy always willing to help.

I just made it one foot of wiring from the ballast to the endcap cord. Plugged it in and works fine.

Now to finish up the small details and take pictures on the tank. I need to rebuild the hood though, rather unhappy about it. Kind of a temp fixture.
