    Bad Ballast???

    Just talked to Hamilton Tech. I ordered a new raw ballast for $35. Not to bad. My original was a D-Light, they are sending me a Workhorse as a replacement. Guess they don't deal with D-light anymore. Apparently the wiring is a little different so it will come with a wiring diagram.

    Bad Ballast???

    It is electronic. Hmm... how can I test for that? When I opened the ballast case I could only get to the wire nut connections. Everything else was inside another case that has a hardened black gel sealing it. I assume the starter circuit is inside there. Is it replaceable?

    Thanks Mola. Do you know what use they in an aquarium? I've got about 10 that I can see now. They make a small mound out of the gravel, and the only part sticking out of the gravel is the tentacles. How am I suposed to clean the gravel without sucking them up to? Are they worth the trouble to...

    what the hell is this???

    I'm not to shure if these are Bristole worms or not. Any one know? I can see about 6 or 7 in my gravel. Should I get rid of them or "throw em back"? Thanks Porter.
