how long should the lights on a nano cube last. the tank has been running for about 5 months and the lights won't go on.

you need to figure out which one is bad. a bulb for a nano cube should last at least 1 year. there is a site that sells both fairly inexspensive.

how do i tell which one is bad if i don't have a new bulb to try in the ballast. and since this site doesn't sell the ballasts or the bulbs then can you post the site.

well it isn't the bulb, but thanks for the offer.
turns out it was the connection to the bulb that was loose. it is a pain in the behind trying to get those screws back in on the splash guard. will it hurt if some are still in the tank, or should i get them out.(dropped a couple)
