Make sure you use 4pin PL with your eballast. So far no one can advice how to connect 2pinPL to eballast.
I don't know the rest..[]

Go Nature Aquarium, address in the LFS list. Will have all you need at a reasonable price, you also can get some advice from Chan the owner. Talk to him about your needs.

If I were you, I rather get the 2*36W PL lights with e-ballast @ Nature Aquarium for $99.
thanks bros, i will see what i can get and share with you all..to eggs bro, that set is nice but i really had tight budget..
if u want osram light tube which is more reliable than elbiru tube, i can get it for $13. if interested, inform me a few days earlier so i can place order. but self-collection at yew tee mrt. Nature aquarium selling at $15.
hey badman any lobangs for e-ballast too?
The $99 light comes with Ebiru e-ballast and PL lights. To change to Osram lights, pay $5 per tube.
eballast will be a german brand one will cost around $20+ if u dun mind china brand one, will try to get the price and i will post here. but u must reply fast as got to place order by monday noon
To DIY the parts will cost:
2 X 36W electronic ballast = $25
2 pcs 36W PL tube = $30
4 pcs C clips = $2
2 pcs socket = $10
cables = $3
aluminium sheet = $4
total = $74
(this does not include the plank + paint + nails)
