Aquatraders

I bought an Aquatraders MH/T5 fixture 2 months ago. One of the MH ballasts crapped out last week. I called to arrange for a replacement and found out that that there is no warranty. None. You can buy a replacement ballast but why would you throw the proverbial good money after bad. Speaking of proverbs, guess you get what you pay for.

Did yours start by making this buzzing noise? or did it just quit one day?

Ballasts are one ofthe weak points for oddysea. Just replace it with a known good ballast.
