3 Bulb Giesemann Spectra with apex

[joe0813]

I just bought my first MH and am getting away from LEDS. Obviously MH pull a lot more watts and amps. So i was wondering if it would still be ok to hook the lights up to my apex energy bar. the fixture comes with three plugs for the halides so id use three plugs on the apex. would this be ok or will it be more amps than the EB32 can handle?

it worked i just plugged in each light one by one to get the exact amps. With the three MH running im at 7amps and on my other EB32 im only at 4. So we are good.
I need to buy a fan for my canopy i wasnt expecting halides to get so hot

my house is 65 degrees and the lights already got the water almost 2 degrees warmer. The summer is going to be tough
