Just purchased sun system blue wave III Remote HQI ballast w/ Maristar 24" MH250/T5 combo unit. Have a couple of quick questions. 1. I'm assuming to set the T5 and HQI on timers I will need to plug the T5 plug into a timerclock and the actual ballast end plub for the HQI into a timerclock? 2. I need to mount the blue wave III Remote HQI ballast to the side wall of the tank stand (inside). The unit has rubber legs, do I need a heat sink mounting head and how do you connect the ballast to the stand side wall. 3. The stand has sizable openings in the back. Do you think I will need a fan to pull heat out of the stand due to heat throw off from the ballast? Thanks for anyone's help here.
