I have an odyssea 3in1 150w, 2x18pc, 2xmoon
the problem is that all the wires go to the ballast and is controled from there. 1 plug goes into the wall. With this, I am unable to set different times for my lighting and I find myself coming home and the tank lights are off because I don't to exceed 9hrs.

Is it possible to take appart the ballast and give each individual light its own plug? or a way I can have each on a sort of timer?

1 plug for MH, 1 plug for PC and 1 for moons?

If you know what you looking at when you take the light apart yes you should be able to wire them all separately
Each should have it's own ballast, The trick will be in doing a clean looking wiring job.
If it has a remote ballast box it would be pretty easy.
