    OK well if one of the light on that ballast still works, since there are two lights to each ballast, then its prolly the bulb.

    If another bulb has the same issue check your endcaps to see if they are corroded or have loose wires. Check the wires on your ballast also.

    It was definitely the bulb. Swapped positions, and I couldn't even get the Actinic+ to light.

    New Blue+ bulb on it's way. Thank you both for the help!

    Thanks and it is very fuzzy. Not sure if that's green coralline or algae on new rock. I like your version better. ;D

    Thank you.

    I'm getting good base color, but not much "accent" color. These are both supposed to be rainbows. Haven't figured that out yet.

    And my Mustard Yellow that is looking more like Baby S**t Brown... :)

    Euphyllia Ridge...
    This is taken straight on at mid tank level. Probably should have taken it more top down to show it better. Will be nice when it fills in.

    And the Bi-color "Frorch". Has tips like a frogspawn but heads and tentacles that are more like a torch. :)

    Beautiful shots

    Your loss of accents could be because of the light reflecting off of the tank walls and giving the coral more light than it needs to keep the accent colors.
