Fixing Juwel Light Bar.

[EddyC]

I have just bought a very similar ballast unit to Nickski but just want to confirm on the power end, the two wiggly lines means I can connect up positive and negative any way round i want? does this in turn affect the way I connect the tubes or is it completely independent?
 
Many thanks!
Ed
 
Just for reference the picture (I have an additional earth socket on mine):

My lights on my Trigon 190 have packed up, decided that the ballast was the problem, I'm confused on what ballast I need. At the moment my lighting is 2x18w T8 bulbs. Below is a picture of my original ballast.

I'm after a link for a suitable replacement please,

Kind Regards

Hello - hope anyone reading this can help please.
I cannot see any pictures from page 1 of this thread - can probably have a go at figuring this out myself, but was hoping that the first few pictures showing where to cut and so on may avoid a mistake.
Anyone have visibility to the pics so that they can repost etc?
I just get a Imageshack placeholder on all of the OP's pictures?
Thanks
FF

Hi. I don't think that the original poster is about at the moment. They've not been on for a few months, so I suspect that their image gallery links have died and the pictures aren't locally stored by the forum. There may be someone else who has a picture of opening up the juwel lids, or has done it already, but I haven't had a juwel tank for several years, so can't help you myself.

Why can't I see the photos?

Need to replace the ballast in my Rio 180.
 
old ballast:

 
new ballast:

 
I'm puzzled at how to connect the new one. Are both pins on one side of the fluorescent tube connected to one pin on the ballast, or do you only need to connect one pin of the tube to the ballast?

Already figured it out, connect both tube pins to one connector on the ballast.
