I want to upgrade my PCs to this T5:

My PC's currently run on two ballasts, one for actinics and one for day bulbs which I can turn on and off at different times with a timer. How would I do that with the above set up which only has one ballast.

If you use the Icecap 660 you will only beable to turn it all on or all off. You can not split it up 2x2. If you want to run 4 bulbs and turn 2 on independently you'll need to get two Icecap 440's
and run 2 bulbs on each.
