Just wondering if fish shops still sell t8 tubes and fluoro starters?
I've got a tank which has 2 built in t8 lights. 1 doesn't work, and I'm hoping it's the tube or starter.
If any fish shops on here sell them, please let me know and I'll swing past with the light to see if I can get it to work

Thanks

I had a similar issue Jason. I gutted the light unit (few screws) and added an LED from a LFS in there. Works well and way cheaper to run. Less heat too with enclosed hood.

What kind of LED light did you go for mike?
Was it the tube type LED, or an individual LED light unit?
