Check your timers, your ballast, and your ballast fuse.
Plug your "good bulb" into your ballast running the bulb that is out to see if it is the ballast, then check the fuse.
If it is the ballast, take it back to whomever you purchased the cube from and they should replace it for you.
:joy:

the actinic light provides nothing benefitial to the corals/livestock, the only reason they put them in is to make it visually apealing to the ownder; to offset the 10k bulb, otherwise the tank would look very yellowish.. Just get the bulb replaced ASAP

That is not true at all. The actinic light does add some blue color but it is also beneficial to the corals. The corals will not grow as well under it but they will be just fine.
Corals can go long periods without light. I agree, you need to get the problem solved ASAP but don't start to panic.

Did you pay for the tank with a credit or debit card? Take a copy of the bank statement with the faulty hood to the store. They should be able to help you replace it under the warranty program. Or you might try and call Oceanic directly.
