I recently set my 28 nanocube up for the first time in close to 2 years. It was running with rock, sand, moonlighting, etc. But I did nothing more than add top off water occasionally. It's back up and running with livestock and doing great. Except for the lights. I didn't notice it right away so I'm not sure when it started, but my lights are occasionally flickering in the middle of a cycle and seem to be having a hard time turning on (flickering on/off for sometimes a full minute). I know LED shouldn't do this and had it running for 3 years with livestock previously and never had a problem. My first thought was ballast... However, when I was working on getting the tank back up I broke a hood clip, meaning I had to take the hood on and off several times to work while I was waiting for a new clip to come. Plus the jolt of actually pushing it back into the clip. I'm afraid it could be a loose wire in the hood itself (which is hugely more expensive to replace!) I never noticed it flickering before reinstalling it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't. It usually turns on before I get home from work so I don't usually see that part of the lighting cycle. Any idea what my best option would be? Has anyone else dealt with a similar issue?
