I am no electrician bro... but from putting together my 220v stuff I can tell you this...

and I am using the terminlogy LOOSELY, like I always do when I don't know what the fuck I am talking about...:lol:

a 110v cord with 3 wires has a positive... a "dud".. and a ground...

a 220v cord with 3 wires will have 2 positives and a ground...

...

you can run a 2 wire 110v cause you only need a positive and a ground...

but to get 220v you need 2x 110v wires plus a ground...


then if you want .. you can use one of these....

I have the 50 amp box plugged into the range outlet...


they also make a 30 am for the dryer outlet...

Sure.. that works...

I use my 50 amp on the range outlet... I got a gas stove now...:razz: to control my lights...

and I like the 110v controlled 220v relay...

I can switch up to 8x 1k light PLUS fans with a cheapo timer.. knowing that I only have milliamps of current going through it to "activate the relay"...

The relay is like a switch... but intead of flicking it with your finger..

you turn it on and off by applying electricity to it...

so when the timer kicks on... 0.0003 amps go to the relay, which "throws the switch" and allows the 50 amps of 220v to flow...

I got it when I fried the electrical in the room... but before a fire ever happened.. thankfully..

hell nah, wasnt gonna buy that @ bugs.


thanks Gypsy...still freakin lost :(

i think ill just stick to the 1/2hp for now as im still only gonna be running 1 1000w light. its just gonna be on 24/7 switching to 2 different reflectors every 12 hours

so i guess ill be good with the 1/2hp and a 50 gallon res

well, shit man it sounds like you got it under control....other than the heat. you running cool tubes on the 600's? or a.c. of some sort?
Click to expand...

thanks 4 the reply bugsrnme.."under control" no were near that..but im learning alot.no cooltubes or a/c..just two sun master 2 hoods.. temps stay at 84F ,they work very very well they give a deep footprint...

i see u guys are talking about the icebox..i got one and a 1/10hp chiller but i havent really used it because that damn chiller uses some 300 + watts:o..and i use 120v from one room so with all my gear im almost maxed out...
