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.
If it is a bulb I can sell you a bulb b/c I bout a bulb not knowing my ballast was burnt out..
Ill sell the bulb for like $10 and in stores there aound $20-25

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)
i didn't know the hood came off as easily as it does. that would have better to know last night. but i did get the screws out. thanks for the posts the last one saved me from more aggravation tonight.
