I have a CoralVue 250MH elec. ballast. In bench testing the wiring I discovered a problem. When I plug in the ballast, it fires up on the second time I plug it in. The first time I plug in nothing, then unplug and replug in and away we go. Is there some circuit in the ballast that is not being reset or something. I am going to be installing on tank this weekend and I would like to figure it out first. I will try hooking it up to a timer tonight and see what happens. Guess I could put four pins in the timer if need be, but that's kinda like adding Phosoguard to your tank
