Her is what I did to split the 6' extensions into a Y connector that will go to the two tanks from one ballast.
I wont be needing power leads at the hood, so I started the work by removing the power leads (Black Green and White) from the female ends of the 6' extensions. I didn't have the Molex pin removal tool but a very thin jewelers screw driver slid in the sides of the pin to release the locking tabs worked fine.
The Ice Cap 660s wires are in paired sets Red Yellow and Brown is one set and Blue Orange and Purple is the other set. The Red, Yellow, Orange and Blue are power supply leads, The Brown and Purple are not really needed they are for the control and return signal in the event you use a dimmer. I don't plan on using a dimmer but will wire them up as if I was in the event I want to add one later.
Next I needed to remove half of the wires from the female ends of the 6' extensions. I chose the Blue Orange and Purple for removal only because of their position in the Molex connector and would be easier to get to. This left the Red Yellow and Brown in the Molex connectors.
Next was the hard part re-inserting the pins in their respective positions. I did break one of the pins on installation and will have to replace it. I separated the individual wire strands from the loom located their position on male end inspected the locking tabs on the pins and adjusted any bent tabs with the jewelers screw driver. Next I inserted the pin into the same position in the other harnesses female Molex connector. Then repeated this process 11 more times and tightened up the looms with zip ties.
