So what went wrong with your lights Tony??

Get it fixed?

Dunno what happened, just wouldn't light up anymore. The lamp looked fine, no discoloration or anything that would suggest it was kaput. But at least I've confirmed now that the ballast is OK so I just need to order a replacement bulb. Just an unplanned purchase though, I kinda wanted to save up for different reef toys.

Hm, Tony I have a 4 and a half month (or so) old 14k Hamilton I could sell to you for cheap. I just bought a brand new 14k EVC today. I could use the other as backup, but if you'd like a bulb sooner, and want to save a few bucks let me know.
