Question about lighting failure on the BioCubes?

[PatrickLindsay]

First of all I just wanted to say hi. My girlfriend and I invested in a 8 gallon BioCube 10 months ago and everything was going swell until we have this lighting issues. The only light that works is the black light/UV light. THe white light won't work and when replaced with another it still doesn't work. I did notice the actual size of the light bulb was a hair larger width wise, but the connectors married up just fine with one another? Is this a manufacture defect maybe? Would they send me out a new top or a new lighting ballast?

Thanks for any info

Cheers

Patrick

Call the manufacturer. I had the same problem. This is a known issue. Inside 3 minutes tech support was asking for my address for shipping new connectors. They are EASY to install. Haven't had an issue with lighting since.

Hi Patrick it sounds like Don has already solved your problem so all I can add is :welcome: to TR.

I had the same problem when I got my BC29. The problem I had was a bad ballast. I just called the support number and they sent me out a new ballast within a week.
