Lighting Problem Help quick please

[vettesarebest]

I have a Coralife Aqualight Pro HQI Fixture and I just got new bulbs for it. I got two 150 Watt Phoenix 14K bulbs. I replaced them and only one works now. The one came on almost immidiatly but the other one still hasn't come on and its been about an hour. I tried re seating it and it still will not come on.:boo:. What do I do?

swap the bulds around to see if its the bulb or the fixture.

worst case scenario, put the old ones back in.

Ok, so I switched the bulbs around and nothing worked. Apparently it is the Ballast?

ya had a similer problem but with pc's in a nanocube and i was about to buy rep. pc's but a friend that sold it to me had extra blasts and pc's so he tested it and he fixed it so from my experience it must be the blast.

bummer...

 

[vettesarebest]

Yeah does, anyone know if I can get replacement Ballasts that are the same ones?

 

[nano_reefer92]

most likely that there wouldn't be anyone who has one(but you never know) and if there is not which kind would you look for icecap because i would get it here

Check the cable connections. I had an Aqualight Pro and the cord from the ballast would come unplugged from the cord to the fixture. (Assuming you have the same model).

Well, I feel like a complete idiot. The connection from the Quick Dissconnect from the ballast came un plugged. Man!!!! Thanks for the help!

haha good one dude.
i had a repair man come out to fix my ac the other day. knowing a little about them, i thought i had checked everything. he came out and pushed the high limit reset button outside and charged me 85 bucks.
its the most simple things we overlook.:yes:
