OK if I decide to go for a DIY hood I'll need some help with this, as I don't have a lot of experience in electrical wiring.
My plan is to have a 10 gal tank divided into 3 areas... the main display, a refugium and a space for the return pump/heater. My lighting plan is pictured below.
Basically, I'd like enough light to have some corals, along with the ability to have the actinics and whites on different time settings and the refugium lighting to be on an opposite time setting.
The tank is 20x10 and the lights are all power compact 13 watt (actinic and 10,000K over the tank, 6500K over the refugium) which are 7" long.
Does this sound OK and does it require 3 ballasts?
Thanks,
Noel
