Strange DC-8 behavior..

[cwegescheide]

I've had my ACIII about 2 months now I'd say and once I got everything all setup things seemed to be going ok. Then this past weekend when my halides attempted to come on one of my halides fired and one didn't.

I initially thought it was the bulb burnt out so I went and got a new one and replaced it. No dice. Tested the ballasts no problem there. Then I realized when I plug my ballasts directly into the outlet on the wall they fire up no problem. So this is the problem.

On my DC-8 I have running:
EuroReef 6-2
1 float switch running H2O top-off
1 float switch running Kalk top-off
2 250W HQI MH's
1 T5 fixture
Ca reactor sylinoid

Whats up with this???

It sounds like the outlet on the DC8 has a problem. Can you control any thing with it? If not, please send an email to support@neptunesys.com.

Well I haven't tried to do that yet. I'll try it when I get home Friday.

Thanks Curt.
