Aquarium Advice Apprentice
*problem solved*
Hey guys, I just purchased my first aquarium so I decided to become a member and I plan on being one for a long time. I've been doing quite a bit of research for the last few months about running aquariums, etc so I'm going to try and not bother everyone with too many beginner questions but I'm sure I'll have plenty.
The aquarium I purchased was used and I got everything up and running last night but I'm having a problem with the lights. It came with 2 6' VHO bulbs and a 440 watt ARO ballast (below is a link to a picture of the ballast, sorry for the quality, i used my phone). It says Model: VHO Fluorescent. All of the wires have been cut so I was wondering if anyone had some kind or wiring diagram for this model ballast or if anyone could help me out. The ballast has 12 wires coming out of it: 2 yellow, 2 orange, 2 red, 2 blue, 2 brown, and 2 grayish color wires. I plan to wire the ballast to the 2 6' VHO bulbs.
Thanks in advance for your help.
