    Default broken wave maker

    i have a aquarium systems natural wave controller that doesnt seem to be working right...the power strip has three plugs that you connect your pumps to or mjs to which cycle on and off....well its not powering the mjs but if i plug three lamps to it the unit will turn the lamps off and on....i took the housing off and it has a circiut board on it and im thinking one of the diodes is bad...does anyone know how these things are wired and if its repairable...

    from what i know mjs are not really designed to shut on an off and last very long. only tunzes are designed to power up and down over and over an last for any length of time.

    yeah im aware of this....but i ran three mjs on this unit for almost a year....now it wont power them so i think a diode is out because i can get it to run lights on and off.....
