Blake just wants to get the duty cycle up on his monster chiller a little! :o

For comparison Purposes ;) :
215g = 3x400W 6.5K MH, 2x160W 72" VHO Actinic
140 = 2x250W 10K MH, 2x96W PC Actinic
Pentagon = 2x48W PCs
Fuge = 4x96W PCs
QT = 2x48W PCs
Frags = 175W 10K MH

I think that's about 3,000 Watts ... and I maintain a Golden Tan :-D

you might want to consider converting the ballasts to a higher voltage(220), it will cut energy consumption in about half, if you have multi tap ballasts.
