    Been having some issues with my MH turning on and off.  I did a search on RC and found a thread about Radium bulbs doing this after only a few months.  I basically just need a bulb that fires, it can be older than dirt and not pretty.  I just need it to verify its the bulb and not my wiring job.
    Anyone?

    I have one and will be in north liberty tomorrow. I can bring it, if you want to come to north liberty to get it. It's old so no need to give it back. Let me know.

    Good news ! I tried the bulb Craig let me borrow and it ran fine for several hours, but damn it was ugly! So that told be my ballast was OK, for some reason I decided to put my bulb back in and guess what, it ran fine with no issues. I'm thinking the bulb just wasn't seated quit right in the fixture. I do remember a time when the lid fell while I had it propped up doing some maintenance one day, that must have been it.

    Here I was wall worried my tank was gonna look ****ty for the tour, we can't be havin' that now can we?
