Think the light not very expensive, better get new one ,
I saw ppl sent it to NA change the ballast also. Urs how many ft?
*
Yes, i also plan to get a new one but budget constraint now "(
The price they quote me for 4ft ballast is RM68. so i guess for mine 1.5ft also around 40-50 bucks


QUOTE(kkwjustin @ Jul 4 2012, 11:28 PM)
No.. why must change both? If the other ballast is still doing okay, u shouldnt change it wad. Because inside the Aquazonic light got 2 ballast, one left one right. Both the ballast powers the individual bulb.  biggrin.gif
*
That the helper told me, they changing the whole set of light, but cover still same. But ballast problem why not change the ballast but is the whole set of light?i also very curious....I call the boss before and he told me change the ballast only. Maybe i wait for the boss to come and discuss. Just to confirm the problem then i wont cheated or chop biggrin.gif

This AquaZonic set i bought at Ipoh pretty pet shop which beside Jusco.

QUOTE(flipmode @ Jul 5 2012, 08:48 AM)
ballast use to regulate the current flow in lamp. it is simple connection actually. from your 3 pin plug to the electronic ballast, then join the pin 1 & 2 of your lamp (or your lamp socket) to the any side you want, 3-4 to the other side to complete the circuit. walla...siap! its not complicated. simple as ABC

Understand the function now. Thx bro
Really hope i stay at KL and look for your help. Almost 2weeks already this problem, my HC gonna GG real soon. Now, i'm waiting the shop call me and got back to repair it sad.gif


QUOTE(weijie @ Jul 5 2012, 09:18 AM)
December: what is the reason you changing that ballast? is it kaput already?
*
Not totally kaput, one of my tube keep on blinking. I tried to exchange the tube and put it at another slot, no problem. So, the problem might be starter,ballast and other. I think other members also face this issues before and they changed the ballast biggrin.gif .

guys.. how many of u all had successfully planted HC without fan or chiller?
pls share ur HC'S growth rate,condition and ur tanks temperature smile.gif
many thx. my hong kong aquarium forum all seems to suggest HC needs low temp.
so any local aquascaper can do without?
*
Whether need fan or chiller to grow HC is depend on your temp. At malaysia i dont think we can grow HC without using chiller or fan with normal 29+ temp unless you are staying at genting and cameron biggrin.gif

Try to keep the temp lower than 28 celcius to keep them green and healthy.
Mine tank temp avrg is 27c with fan. Never dose any fert. WC 20-30% every week.

Hagen light case come with NO tube , you have to get it separately , that why it consider expensive , a normal 2ft T5 Hagen casing cost RM200++ ,
T5 Glo Tube is like RM30++ per tube.
