Reefing newb
Howdy All,
I just got a new 175W Ushio MH bulb for a routine replacement. When installed, the new bulb initially begins to fire, then dies out after about 20-30 seconds. The "old" bulb still works fine in the same socket.
Is it more likely that this is a bulb issue or maybe an old capacitor in the ballast assembly?
The ballast is an older Custom Sea Life unit.
Thoughts?
