Sure give me a bit. The blue box is an ice-cap 660 ballast that runs the VHOs. The pump is a little giant 4mdqx-sc...I gate it down and 1/2 goes to the return the other feeds the skimmer. 2 seperate power strips...one runs JUST the power heads...so I can flip them off at feeding time...The other Power strip runs the cooling fan and the VHOs. The VHO powerstrip is plugged into an Intermatic Outside digital timer ..you can see it in the picture. The VHOs/fans turn on 15 minutes before the Metal Halides. The MHs are also plugged into an Intermatic digital timer.
