RSM 130 lighting problem

[Wayne23uk]

Having problems having my lights turn on they just flicker on and straight back off and make a clicking noise any common faults with these or any ideas?

See what others think... but one thing to check is the fans - they have a safety override & if they are not coming on or need to be replaced, the lights won't come on...

You are very welcome - hope it helps you sort !

Kevin our (Red Sea Rep) is another great resource - in the "Ask Red Sea" thread...

 

[Wayne23uk]

Spoke to him a few times on a uk forum very helpful

 

[Wayne23uk]

Well found out from kev that it's a relay problem

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

Glad to hear - let us know how the replacement goes

 

[Wayne23uk]

Hoping the relay will be with my by Monday had to order online as no LFS had them in. Do you think my corals will be ok with lighting till then

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

They should be fine - many tanks have gone lights out for a week to fight algae problems

 

[Wayne23uk]

Hope so should I still feed them I normally use red sea reef energy A&B

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

I think I would cut back on it if you do... they should be fine

Good advice by Glenn

I've ran my tank for a week (actually a tad bit more) without lights with no ill effects.

 

[Wayne23uk]

Hope everything will be fine just waiting on the post really

replaced the relay no problems but fault still there just seen the blue LEDs are also not working tried plugging the hood into another socket that is working and still no joy
