When we got home 3 of 4 T5 ballasts and 1 MH ballast were dead in the 240 gallon tank. 3 of 4 MH bulbs fired and 2 of 8 T5 tubes lit. Nothing else in the house was affected. I have no idea how this is even possible. There are bunches of DC pump controllers and 2 Hydros units on the same circuits. The clocks where all correct. All TVs and computers fine. The LEDs on the 180, okay.
Hamilton Technologies website has been down for a while. No matching parts.
So new lights for the 240 got ordered last night. 2 4 foot Coralcovers and 5 Noopsyches. The same lighting I use on the 180. No more bulb changes.
Any idea what could fail a bunch of ballasts in 2 different fixtures on 2 different circuits but not bother anything else? I opened the MH ballast and it looks new inside.
The cords are all intact. No visible scorch marks anywhere.
Mind blown.
