After Breaking 2 Tubes on the kitchen floor :evil: i managed to set them up and the first tube stopped showing the black bars after about 2 minutes and the 2nd after 15.
Well leave the lights on for 20 minutes then Take more photos, The lights SHould Be on the WHOLE time that they have fry anyway, especially since there are other fish in the tank.
I have just bought a new type of ballast off trademe,
Its 2x40W for 2 36W t8s.
It doesnt require Starters, i got it going but there are black bars going down th light tube.
Any idea why?
