I hate wiring ice caps. Especially when running 4 bulbs on one. I always seem to have one wire that is no connected right in an end cap and it takes me forever to find it.

Sometimes I error on the side of caution too much. Geesh this was easy. I was looking at it thinking I just had to shove the power supply into the ballast on the side with the small white plug interface. Whats that for anyway? Before I actually looked and counted all the wires to see that is how the power supply was connected.
Super easy, and actually a lot of fun to wire and make. Maybe Ill post some pics later.

Still need to finish the acrylic splash guard for the ballast and all wires! Ran out of acrylic.

are you using water proof end caps or just the tombstone style if the water proof ones then I would forgo the acrylic shield as you will loose light into the tank
I know it always seems daunting to wire things when you are not used to it but it all ends up so much simpler then you make it out to be
also what are you using for the reflectors are they the ice cap ones ???

Acrylic is to make a working surface on top protecting the wires.
Yes, Ice cap reflectors.
And yes it was way easier and more fun than I expected.
