Hi folks,
I have a JBJ 28G HQI Nano Cube and today the MH light would not turn on. The moonlight LEDs are fine.
I have a support ticket into JBJ but they have not yet returned my call, so maybe some of you folks here may be able to help?
I do not have a lot of experience with this type of lighting so perhaps I am doing something wrong.
Here is what I've done so far:
Plugged the ballast into a different electrical outlet.
Checked the fuse on the ballast which looks fine, it is clear, intact and not burnt in any way, unless there is something I missed.
Let the ballast sit unplugged for an hour and replugged everything in.
Made sure all fittings and connectors are properly fastened.
Although the bulb is relatively new, and does not appear to be burned out, I changed out the bulb anyway with a spare to no effect.
The ballast just seems dead. Now if that's the case, does anybody have any suggestions for a replacement ballast? Also, how long can my corals go without light? I have some Xenia, some mushrooms, a small gorgonian, some GSP, and a small SPS frag that was starting to branch a little that I'd really like to save.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Christian
