tinytawnykitten Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I have an AquaOne T8 4ft double light and one light isn't working. Before you ask, yes I've changed the bulb to make sure it's not that. I was hoping someone might know how to fix it or could take a look or at least recommend somewhere I could take it. I'll happily payfor your time. I'm in Wellington. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oO SKIPPY Oo Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 does it have one of these if its the 4 ft version of mine it will be hidden and you would need to pretty much pull apart to get to them but shouldnt be to hard to do.

smidey Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 does that unit have starters or ballasts? i pulled my sunsun apart to have a look a while back & both the tubes are run off the same electronic ballast so if one is working the ballast is not the issue, i would look for the fault in the connections.

suphew Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Generally with the electronic ballasts if one isn't working (for what ever reason) they both don't, they have to be wired differently for a single tube to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
