Aquazonic T5 light

[blurrblurr]

I have gotten the Aquazonic 5ft T5 light. When I try to dismantle it. I realize there is no ballast. Does T5 works without any ballast? Am I able to change to 6500k Osram tube when default is aquazonic 10000k tube?

Yup it's possible, have also change mine to 6500k (2ft though)

Mad a mistake and bought a red T5 light. Can this light be use in planted?

the ballast is at the side covered by the reflector

Ya saw the ballast. But I Think I got the wrong new T5 tubes thinking that red mean 6500k. Can anyone advise how can I use these red tube? Can I mix 3 6500k tube with one red tube?
