I have one of these as well, however I purchased mine soon after they came out. The problem is that the light only comes on when it wants to. If you leave the light switch on all the time it will turn come on at random times, often not for days. I talked with JBJ right after I bought it but since I had paid cash and miss placed the reciept they would not warranty it. I have to check into how much a new ballast is. When I was testing out what the problem was at JBJ's request I took the hood apart and the only thing I was able to find was that the original ballasts are not sealed and a lot of moisture gets into them. I am not sure about the present ones.

Other than that it is a great tank..
