Aqua illumination fixture tripping breaker

Post by oneboss302 »

I have a 48" aqua illumination fixture with 2 250w halides that seems to keep tripping the breaker on the relay box. I used to use a different 250w fixture without issue. Are there certain ports I should be using? Currently on ports 5 for the Halides and port 6 for the 2 T5 actinics. Thanks!
