I have a 20g with some soft corals and I came home today to find the light not on which is unusual since its on a timer. I unplugged it from the timer and sure enough, it wont kick on. its a retrofit job (in a 20g high plastic hood) with a squarepin 55w 50/50 coralife bulb and an older smartlite custom sea life ballast. the bulb is less than a year old. At this point I am not sure which component is bad; I can put the corals in my mother in law's tank for now if I hhhaaaave to (my 42g cube is already full of corals), but was wondering if anyone had any extra pc fixtures lying around I could borrow or buy or if you have ideas on how I can troubleshoot my light (I'm a girl so keep it simple, no offense to girls out there who like to tinker with mechanical gadgets). If pics would help, I can post. This is verbose enough so I will leave it at that for now...
