    Default Ice Cap Ballast out?

    Help, I have an Ice Cap Ballast that may have gone out. I have a 75 gallon Reef of softies & the Ice Cap is probably just over 3 year old (of course I noticed the warranty is 3 years). I came home last night after being out of town to a tank that looks like the light has been off for at least 24 hours if not longer. Not sure what to do since I am electronically challanged to say the least. I have been thinking of upgrading anyway so maybe this is the time to do it. Thanks - Jana

    How old are the bulbs? If one is bad then both will not light up.

    If its dead, send it back and they will refurbish it for like 75$. Softies would do just fine for a few days under your VHO tubes run on a normal shop light ballast from home Depot or find someone on the boards with one to lend.

    I've found Icecap to be VERY responsive...
