I want to upgrade the ballasts for my lighting to dimmable ones. However I am soon to upgrade to a larger tank too and so I was wondering if I could buy 54w ballasts now and run my existing 24w tubes on them until I upgrade the tank when I will then have 54w tubes.

Is this possible or advisable? Will it damage the tubes in any way?

no, this is not possible, you can only operate tubes with the same watts

Thats a shame!

Thanks for the quick response Matthias.
