I'm in a tight spot.
I have a 12 gallon nano cubes whose lights have gone out. I am unable to determine how exactly this happened and is happening because the moonlights and fans are still getting enough energyto light them, but the two 50/50 24watt lights at not illuminated. I have checked all of the simple things, outlet strip is providing electricity, internal examination of the ballast (transformer?). There is no apparent water, nor frying of the electrical components in the hood where the lights and fans are located. Everything I took apart looked normal and unfortunately, I'm not electrical engineer so I don't know where to go from here.
Inconveniently, I also have to skip town tomorrow afternoon so I need to figure out the next step quick. If I can't get those lights going, it may cause damage to the soft corals I have in there(mushrooms, polyps, tree corals). It will be a total of 6-7 days before I can get back and even figure something out. There is also a six lines wrasse in the tank.
