so i got this light that's 2x250 hqi mh..Won brothers kinda cheezy but not bad looking and i had it for 2 days and 1 side stopped working.So i tryed everything to get the both of them to fire by checking the sockets and all the wiring inside but nothing's loose and the only conclusion i came to is that i had a bad ballast bcuz the fan let go the 1st day i had it.. I picked up 2 coralife hqi ballast from a fellow reefer last night and i hook it up and i still have the same issue except no the bulb that was firing isn't firing up completely..it just takes its time and doesn't ever reach its full spectrum...
Is anybody out there capable of telling me what the overall issue here is..it should work but then again i'm not an electrician so i could be wrong.maybe i just bought the wrong light that i can't fix but i need to know for sure if anybody can help me that would be awesome and there probably is a frag in it for the guidance toward what is really my problem..
