well got my bulb from JBJ lastnight, installed it and seemed to fix my problem...I must had faulty bulb! All though the new bulb doesnt look any different from the old one? But for now all is good! thanks all!

good point! i'm sure if not the bulb i'm sure it will continue to do what its doin cutting off/on. It starts to do it not even few minutes after it cuts on. So if i replace bulb and continues then i know its the ballast and not bulb issue. i will def put it to the test! wish me luck! :mrgreen:

THANKS! I asked them if they are just guessing or they know for sure its a bulb? They replied said very rare for their ballast to go bad, said they had problems like this with their older bulbs "which i guess i got " said they have new bulb out which is much better?? I hope this fixes my prob...

JBJ responded to my email, said they will replace the bulb under warranty. I guess they are thinking its the bulb not the ballast?? since that is what they sent me in the email. we shall see!

It just happened over the weekend so have to wait till today "tues" to call b/c they were not opened over the holiday weekend. I will call today and see what they say... thanks!

i read the same thing saying that when bulb needs replaced it will do this sometimes..i hope its just a bulb going out. Should i try buying new bulb 1st or what yall think i should do? i hate to buy a bulb and not be a bulb issue. But i gotta do what i gotta do! I need a light asap!

I have 70w MH Viper light and its has been doing fine intill the other night, it cut on and ran for about 10min then shut off , and then starts to restart itself and cut back on run for several minutes and cut back off and repeats this. I checked the connections and checked the bulb see if it...

no water softener...use distilled water. I found out why was gettin no reading my Alk was off the chart! I'm doing water changes to get it to come down...any suggestions?

I got a Salifert Alk test kit today and did the test with no results?? I followed the directions as listed but my water in test vial never changed to the orange-red or pink color as directions says it should. I did a test on the water i get from LFS and it turned to pink color at 7.7KH. I did...

its like over a NR in just about every post this is some kind of argument going on, or someone yelling at each other..its almost funny! I have never seen that happen here! This is what i have to say about NR :fut :moonin hehehe! What there is no such thing as a pro-reefer?lol j/k , well...

I just wanna thank everyone over here at Nanotank for being so helpful and nice to begginers. I have posted and seen other newbs post questions over at NR at they just get attacked and treated like we are stupid and we should know everything about keeping a tank. I have been offended from other...

Thats funny how we cant stop messin with our tank :lol3: , i'm the same way. I know not to rush just cant believe my tank perimeters are already back at zero. My ammonia dropped to zero this morning, i rinsed out my sponge for the 1st time, thinkin that may have dropped my ammonia. I guess time...

Yea good thinkin! but i was to curious to what my tank was doin so went to petsmart and got that exact kit for like $26. I come home and ran all my test... PH -7.8 ammonia - .25 Nitrite - 0 nitrate - 0 its been 7days since i started the tank and put my LR in. Should i do a water change...

:welcome BACK!

any recommendation on what test kit to buy?

Thanks for the link! Yes it has lightly cover all of the rocks and sand. Sounds like diatoms is what i have by reading your link. I dont have test kit yet, i have amonia test kit from my FW tanks that says it does both FW & SW. I did that test and shows .25 the last two nights. Will be getting...

I'm about a week into cycling now and i have noticed over the past few days that my rocks /sand have been getting covered in some kind of brown stuff. Is this some kind of algae? or what is it? I guess since my tank hasnt cycled yet cant add the CUC. Do i just continue with cycling process and...

I guess i will just be using distilled water to top off my tank since i don't have the machine to make my own filtered water to use for top offs. My question is should i be using some kinda buffer to get PH up to normal level? or what should i be adding to my top off water? Also in a days...

thanks!!! :lol:
