Short in my fixture from spitting fish...

[Barko]

Hi all,

My Teklight T5 seems to be on the fritz and I was wondering if this could be fixed? It's a 36" 4xT5 tube(bulb) fixture with two separate switches.

Basically what is happening is that the lights will come on and then turn off after a few seconds. If I flip the switches on and off a few times it will stay on. I'm wondering if it is a short in the fixture as my fish seem to love splashing it during the day.

I bought it exactly a year ago from a local fish store here in Calgary, but I don't think the store will cover spitting fish as a warranty item.

Is there an easy fix? If not, could someone recommend a good T5 fixture that I could buy to replace this one?

Thanks!
