	Flourescent Light problems
castlequest Fish Addict Posts: 661 Votes: 0 Registered: 15-Feb-2003	One of the light strips on my 110g only works on one side. Each strip holds two 20watt tubes and on one strip only one of the two will light up. What sorts of things could be the problem?

If it works, you have found the problem. You can pick up a twin pack of FS-2 starters for like 99c. If that doesn't work, switch bulbs. If that doesn't work, your ballast may be to blame, and you'd have to physically take apart the unit to replace it.

Yet again it could be the starters, or the connectors at each end of the tube. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
