Anyone with any experience with this light? Bought it from a online retailer and recieved it on Jan 4th. Tonight I was cleaning some algea off the glass and noticed 2 of the Actinic Blue bulbs not working. I took out some of the other bulbs and tried them in the outlets that were not working and still nothing. Kinda stumped as I'd like to fix this myself instead of mailing it back. I did contact the retailer I purchased it from knowing I won't hear back until at least monday in case I can't get it working.

It's not the bulbs. I have been researching this light for awhile and the only reason I have not bought one yet is because WAY too many people are having trouble with the ballasts just as you are. You will have to send it back and they will replace/fix it. Quite the headache on a 4 foot long light setup. Someone sold one last week on my local forum for $150 just to get rid of it because they had been having the same problems as you from the beginning.
