Hi everyone this is my first post i am very new at this but i happen to be sort of proficient in wiring with schematics, i have a few questions regarding lamp setups here is a setup for a MH lamp http://aquarium.union.rpi.edu/articles/DIY_MH.html

i was curious if the MH ballast can be switched out for a HPS ballast in this setup in order to initially use an MH conversion bulb and then switch to a HPS bulb at the appropriate time

the reason i rather build it myself is if it happens to go bad i know what i did and i can fix/replace it myself, but i would first like to know from experienced ppl if all this is possible or if you have any addtl input.

also few thing regarding info from the link
it seem he uses a certain MH bulb, what do we use?
he also mentioned using a new mogul for each new bulb!?
