ckf Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 First I would like to say that this is an awesome message board. Lots of info for nano systems. Now onto my problem. I have a 15 gal cube nano tank and needed to upgrade the lighting since it came with an 8 watt bulb. I had a JBJ fixture that had 2 55 watt bulbs with an electronic ballast that could run either 1 or 2 bulbs. Since I could not find anything that would fit the 13 1/2" I have available for a light, I improvised. I took the ballast and end caps and made a retrofit into the hood. I have an 18 watt actinic and a 32 watt 10k bulb. The bulbs work great but now the problem. Every time I turn the lights on, I get static on my TV! I have tried different outlets, checked the connections and the lights are plugged into a surge protector. The other piece of info is that one bulb is a 4 pin PC in a straight line and the other is a 4 pin in a box pattern. I have the straight connected to an end cap but the box is connectec directly with pin connectors. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks Chris Link to comment
ckf Posted March 3, 2004 Author Share Posted March 3, 2004 Okay, today I installed an end cap for the box pin panasonic style light and it helped a little but it is still there. Doesn't anybody have any ideas at all on how to fix this? Any help at all would be appreciated. Link to comment
