I don't know anything about fixing electrical things. I asked at my lfs and they said it is probably the starter and to try that before buying a whole new hood as it is less expensive.Fri, 30 May 2008 09:07:38 GMTrosemerryhttp://board.fishchannel.com/Topic148494-15-1.aspxIt could be the starter or ballast. Or it could be a number of other things. I have fixed two Coralife Aqualights now, one that had two wires melt together for some reason and shorted, and one that had a wire detach from one of the holes where the bulb prongs go. Just be careful if you do any work on the light yourself...it can be very dangerous.Fri, 30 May 2008 09:01:21 GMTHaileyhttp://board.fishchannel.com/Topic148494-15-1.aspxMy dad has the Discus in his 125 gal. tank. He knew he couldn't keep the Cichlids anymore so he gave them to me. I've only added one fish since an Arrawana. I haven't added anymore because I don't want to over stock my tank. <br><br>I think I need to buy some more rocks for the Cichlids though. I have a camera so I will get some pictures soon. I think I have to replace my starter? in the hood. My lights don't work and they are brand new.Fri, 30 May 2008 08:52:15 GMTrosemerryhttp://board.fishchannel.com/Topic148494-15-1.aspxI have a book that I could identify them with if it is a common cichlid. Do you need to know how to post a picture?Fri, 30 May 2008 08:49:09 GMTMillerhttp://board.fishchannel.com/Topic148494-15-1.aspxWelcome to FishChannel.com.</P><P>If you could post pix of your fish I'm sure we can tell you what they are -- and what they are makes a big difference in terms of what you can keep with them.Fri, 30 May 2008 07:16:00 GMTDavid Lasshttp://board.fishchannel.com/Topic148494-15-1.aspxWelcome. If you post photos or detailed descriptions of your mystery cichlids we should be able to help ID them.Fri, 30 May 2008 05:04:08 GMTHaileyhttp://board.fishchannel.com/Topic148494-15-1.aspxWelcome to Fishchannel. I hope you don't plan on adding Discus to that tank. They won't last long.... You should find out what type of cichlids you have before adding any other fish. Most african cichlids are aggressive....Fri, 30 May 2008 00:09:00 GMTfilipemhttp://board.fishchannel.com/Topic148494-15-1.aspxI have a 47 gal. bow front tank. In it I have two Cichlids. I'm not sure if they are African or South American. I also have one Arrawanna. (sp?). I use a canister filter made for 100 gal. tank. I hope to upgrade in about a year and a half to a larger tank. As I've learned that Arawannas can become large. <br><br>I have learned so much already and have only been here a few days. I hope to learn a lot more. I'm glad this site is here and I'm glad I've come across it.Thu, 29 May 2008 22:38:19 GMTrosemerry
