Default Aquagiant help

Hi everyone,

I joined this site not realizing it's for reef aquarists. I seen the Canada part and jumped in.

Anyway, my question is to those with an Aquagiant aquarium. I purchased a used 120 gallon just before Christmas and am now experiencing lighting problems. I'm now down to 1 regular and 1 blue bulb. I've purchased 3 bulbs in as many weeks and they keep burning out, either immediately or within a few days. Is this normal for these brands? Have anyone else experienced this and if so, what have you done? Is it the ballast that needs replacing or a part of it? I'm under the impression the tank is 2 years old. This is so frustrating, I want to scream.

Also, are you experiencing microbubbles from having a canopy filter?

I'm beginning to think I made a mistake in making this expensive purchase.

Thanks.
