Anyone know of a ballet that would fire ~57w UV bulb? I got an Aqua Ultraviolet that came with the tank and the ballast is. It working. I contacted CureUV and they recommended their GML005 so I bought it and a new bulb. Came in today and it’s for a 220v a/c input.

Went cheap and didn’t order the original magnetic ballast from Aqua UV for ~$120.
 
Just buy a flourescent ballast rated for up to 60 to 75w lights. It s a ballast..the bulb will draw what it needs. Whire it in and be done with it. If you need to use their connector, I would see if I can take it out of their old ballast housing, or if you can mount the new ballast inside their housing.
 
Thank you, didn’t know if I need a different ballast to drive UV
