Red and black coloration is used to show 220V and if it is split to feed two 110 breakers some one has used 220 wire (or 3 strand if I am corectly assuming you have 1 copper, 1 black 1, red and 1 white wire in the bundle) now the good part, depending on what you want to do you have the capability of running 220 15 amp to that location or doing what I did and keeping the power split into 110 but running it to say 4 different GFI outlets that will trip independantly of each other. this will alow you to spread out lights, pumps, heaters so if you have a problem with 1 the rest will stay going and your tank won't die.
