Multiple Light Strands/Ballasts On One Apex DIM Channel
This is a bit experimental, but basically we just purchased an Apex pro reef controller. We have a total of 6 different ballasts, with 7 different kinds of LEDS + two t5s. Obviously, the apex supports four different strands on two different V channels.
Here is a list of my different ballasts. Ballast 1) T5 ATI BLUE PLUS AND CORAL PLUS Ballast 2) 5W WHITE LEDS Ballast 3) 5W ROYAL BLUE LEDS Ballast 4) 3W ROYAL BLUE AND 3W TRUE BLUE Ballast 5) MOON LIGHTS Ballast 6) UV LEDS Yes I chose to use a lot of different ballasts, because each of them have different recommended amperage. My question is: Can I combine the dim - and dim + for ballast 3 and ballast 4 as well as Ballast 5 and Ballast 6 then wire hem into the apex. Obviously I would not be able to control the combined ones separately, but I am hoping it would allow them to be dimmed. Here is a crude diagram in case I'm being confusing. |
