Remote Ballast

Hello all,

I am in the setup phase of my 200 GAL tank with 300 GAL fuge/sump/return in the basement and have a quick question.

I want to remote my magnetic ballast for the 3x 175 W MH lights to the basement. I am thinking that if I cut the existing cable and splice some 3 wire Romex cable in, there shouldn't be any problems, but just wanted to run it by you fine folks to make sure I am not missing something. If it matters, it will be about 30' from the ballast to the lights.

Thanks for your time and input.
