    I have the 48" coralife Aqualit PRO HQI.. Problem is, one of my halide bulbs went out, i changed it and it still wont work. Is it possible that the ballast blew? how can i test to see if its the ballast, or some other part?

    Thanks

    Hey< How is it going?!!!!!! Welcome to 3reef!!! Did you wait til the bulb cooled off before trying to turn it on again? Halides wont turn on until they have cooled off? Also, check the connection of the bulb and where the bulb plugs in. Sometimes their is a gap or the bulb doesn't fit in correctly, therefore no electricity is exchanged.
    try those two things first... i don't know if you have a test light to see if you are getting power to your light fixture or not?
    well good luck!!!!!!try that for now!
