My friend got tired of taking care of his nano cube and asked if i wanted to have it. I my fresh water tank and wanted to get into salt water so of course i said yes. He told me that the lightbulb had burned out and i needed to get a new one. Well i did. I installed it and it sizzled a little bit but the light turned on. At night i turned it off and when i woke up i tryed to turn it back on. once again it sizzled but then went out and wouldnt turn back on... so i went back to the store and got an new light bulb. and now that one dosent work. No sizzle or anything. So i started playing around with the four prong wires that connects to the lignt. and it sizzled and tryed to light but just wasnt happing. Ok long story short. I think the lighting fixture is broken... Does anyone know where i can get a new light fixture for a 12 gallon Nano cub jbj with out buying the whole hood... cus thats really expensive and i dont need a new hood. Im worried the longer i wait things are going to start dying off. thanks.

:welcome to nanotank!

From your description it sounds like the endcap is not making a good connection. Where does the sizzling sound sound like its coming from? If the sound is near the bulb then you just need to replace the endcap which is easier to replace.
