my 6 bulb t5

[jaylensdad06]

The 2 bulb channel on my 6 bulb fixture just went out. The fan stays running but the bulbs don't turn on. It's an older current nova extreme. I have been wanting to switch over to led...how long will my corals go without light till I can get them here? Or does n e 1 have a light I can use till I get them? Maybe a week or so?

Did all your bulbs go out or just 2? If just 2 went out just run it as a 4 bulb which would be better than no lights at all for a week or so

I decided to pull it apart n check the balast..I was able to get the whole chanel back on.....

I wish I didn't mess with it..lol. would have been a great excuse to switch to led and the wife couldn't be mad...damn
