    I think I might have a bad ballast for my actinics in my light, hoping someone has had some experience with this also.  My actinics will just flicker then not come on when I turn them on. 
    An help would be appreciated...
    Thanks

    I would say one or both of the bulbs are burned out try new bulbs if you have some or just switch with one that is working some times they will not fire if one of the two is burned out

    I tried a different bulb, and it did the same thing. I was able to go on Aquaticlife's website, it does look like I have a bad ballast.

    Thanks

    You were correct, I only switched one bulb not two.  When I went to order the bulbs Aquaticlife rep.  had me double check all lights before letting me order.  It is just one bulb.  Thanks
    for you input, I should have double checked.
