T5 Aquatlantis Cube Help

[forever]

Hi All,
Lighting did not come on tonight, looks like the T5 kit that came with the cube has packed up, checked the fuse and tried a new tube but no joy.
Looks like there is not much hope but a new unit, anyone got any recommendations? The current housing also clips either side if the hood so I may not have many options, help pls

i dont know much about the tank itself btw

i thought that might be the case, but i could not see one that was easily accessible? took both ends off and its not around

 

[mike455555]

is there a ballast or something?

What would I be looking for ? It's all built into a long mental tube that sits on top of the tank with the lights either side all seems a bit sealed non serviceable

honestly i havent a clue sorry fiddle around with it, maybe a new light unit is in order?
