JUST TYPICAL 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
is it just typical i fine start geting plants to grow and my light goes!

Its getting power but the bulb is doing nothing i think the starter is busted!!!!!

are these just a standard starter. the lights are "Aquael type zs- 25/30"

Will i have to go to a LFS or can i get a cheaper replacement else where?

Thanks in advance

mickey take the starter to an electricial contractors suppliers and they will test it and tell you whats the best option. i found it cheaper and quicker than the LFS who wanted me to buy a replacement lid!
€10 for a regular starter whick was inside a jewel tank. lfs said a new tank as they couldnt get just the lid!

Re:JUST TYPICAL 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
didn't do a think tried a couple of different starters no sign of life but old starter back in safety more than anything

two hours later she is working wondering now is it the starter or the system.


i have it about seven years the brother had it a few years before that. so maybe time to retire it!?!?!

i've had the same light system (bar the bulb) in my first tank for 26years now and not a problem with it, so if its acting up like this and tweeking the starter fuse isn't doing it any good i guess it the system or a loose wire in your connection

Any excuse Mickey, best of luck buying just your starter i hear over the border the charge a lot for starters but throw in free fish (at least you've got an excuse now for arriving home with new stock)
