Icecap Ballast Help

I have 2 used Icecap 660 ballasts with the wiring for the lighting but no electrical plugs.

Anyone know where I can get 2 plugs for these?

If you mean a regular old plug, I have at least one...I'm pretty sure I have two though.
 
I have two grounded plugs ... but I need it to fit inside the female 4 pin molex connector.

I need a grounded plug with this

on the end.


The ones from Icecap are $50 each and that's a little ridiculous when I have the plug... all i need is the right connection.
 
Not sure where the pic went. I googled it.

here's a new one.

I contacted Icecap. They said the wiring harness and a 3 prong plug is all I need. Which is what I have. I just assumed that because there was another 4pin molex connectin on the other side of the ballast that that was where the plug should go.... duh mike.

I'm building the canopy this week so as soon as it's done i'll buy the 36" bulbs and go to work on the wiring.

Thanks guys.

What do you mean German Bulbs?

I was gonna go with 2 UVL SuperActinic, 1 UVL 50/50, 2 ATI Blue+, 1 ATI AquaBlue....

What do you think? It's for a 58 Gallon Frag Tank 36x18x21. I have the single Icecap Reflectors and 2 Icecap 660's powering 3 36" bulbs each.

Mike, you can increase your odds of getting help by adding my name to the list. Although my schedule gets crazy as well.
 
I have a 660 myself and I'm pretty sure that 4 pin plug is for a dimmer..
The 110 is the white, black and green on the 16 pin plug

You are correct. I contacted Icecap and they let me know.

Thanks Mike!

So many great guys on NJRC ... if I can only get my wood back from the guy who's cutting it for me, I could start building the canopy.
