Ran into a problem with the hood yesterday. I got it all hooked up and installed the way they say to and it doesn't work. I called a few TRT members did a voice chat and we went over how i have it wired and it is correct. So now waiting on email back from the company to get the ballast and possible end caps replaced.

In the mean time i have mirrors reflecting the sunlight to my tank till i get the new ballast.

Very cool! Glad you got it worked out. Your corals should really like the increased lighting.
