Current Outer Orbit HQI ballast upgrade?

[Malibu361]

Was wondering if I could/should upgrade to IceCap ballast in this fixture or if anyone ever has ?If so would it all fit into the fixture ? 2X150 W

The one I have is a 2x150W HQI + 2x130W PC. I re-wired it to make the ballasts remote. The ballasts in it are electronic ballast (at least in mine.) It is pretty easy to open up and inspect. You may want to check the inside for sizing of the new ballast you want to put in it.

Would it be worth it to put ice caps in ?

why do you want to change the ballast.....light isisnt bright enough or corals are lacking color?

I have heard Ice cap ballast are more efficient and the bulbs burn better
