Hi there,
I bought a tank setup that included the Coralife 24" Aqualight Pro HQI 150W, 2x65W PC light fixture (I know those fixtures aren't the greatest, but it came with the setup). The previous owner warned me that the Compact Florescent bulbs had stopped working and guessed that they needed new bulbs.
I bought all new bulbs for this fixture (Phoenix 14k and 2 50/50 Coralife Compact Florescent bulbs) and installed them. The Compact Florescent bulbs do not turn on and the Cooling Fan is not working either. When I flip the 'On' switch for the Florescents there is a half-second flicker of light and then nothing. Does anyone know what might cause this behavior?
I don't know much about light fixtures...could this mean the Electronic Ballast that controls the Florescent lights needs to be replaced? Anyone know for sure?
Secondly, which mounting legs work for this fixture. When I did a 'Froogle' search for 'Coralife pro legs' I saw two different kinds. One set is very short and vertical. Another set is longer and curved/bent. Which set is the one that will work for this fixture?
Any help at all would be much appreciated. Thanks!
