Ballast Problem

[trigger99]

I have a Marristar 2X250 halide fixure powered by a Blue Wave Ballast. Last night when I turned it on, it would just shot off on its own after being lit for a few minutes. This morning, I get no response when I hit the switch. What has happened???? The ballast is about 3 years old. Can it be fixed????? No what for my sps tank????

Thanks mates......

If you're handy with electric, try bypassing the switch. I'm not familiar with this light. SPS will be alright for a few days without the light.

If you need to borrow 250watt halides, I have 2 retros that you can borrow. You would need something to screw the reflectors to.

Called Sunlight Supply. Chris thinks its the on/off switch since I have no power whatsoever. He is sending me at a new one free of charge. What a prince and great customer service....

Thanks for the assist here folks......
