I've sent about 10 emails to the "support@digitalaquatics.com" address, no responses, so I'm thinking that my emails are not getting thru..
My RK is blowing fuses left and right, I've run all the local suppliers out of stock!
I only had three things plugged into the RK (Ch 1 -3) as follows...
Ch1 Light Other 1x96 watt Hamilton Ballast running 2x96watt PC bulbs.
Ch2 Light MH 1x250 watt Hamilton Ballast running 2x 250watt DE 14k Bulbs
Ch3 Light MH 1x250 watt Hamilton Ballast running 1x 250 watt DE 14k Bulb
The light system is the Hamilton Protostar 5' system...
I'm out of fuses and turning the lights on and off manually... I saw on the support page that others have made "minor changes" to get thier systems working with these ballasts, please help!
Also if anyone knows another Electrical Supply store in the St. Louis area that I may have missed please let me know, I've bought out Grainger and my 2 local HandyMan Hardware stores!
Additional Info: Oddly enough I never had any problems for the first 3 or 4 months running this way (plus I had my sump pump and heaters on the RK also). The RK is on it's own grounded GFCI outlet, and that outlet is on it's own sep. circut. After that I mistakenly plugged in my chiller over the summer and blew the first fuse. After that, I would blow a fuse on average 1 once per week. SO then I took the heaters and pumps off the RK, and only ran with the lights... Ran fine for 12 days, then blew the next fuse. After that I blew a fuse every 2 days for a week until I ran out of fuses the other day.
