You can get a workhorse 5 for $27 or a workhorse 7 for $36 from reefgeek.
Since I'm having a hard time deciding what kind of light I want, I was thinking these are a nice alternative since they support T-5, VHO, and PC.
Just wondering if anyone has one and if you like it and what you are running on it.

If you look inside the ballast box
of any CustomSeaLife PC ficture,
you will find a workhorse ballast
you can go to Home Depot or Lowes and buy an
equivalent workhorse 5 ballast for about the same price ...
(the one used for Qty 4 32W T8s)

Sounds good. I may try to get by there. Where did you get the end caps?
I'm trying to retro a 96w into an All-Glass light fixture.
