So I went today to animal attractions to buy bulbs and a kole tang. One of the bulbs something is rattling around inside AA says sometimes bb's are inside it should still work. So I try to fire the bulbs the first 2 light for half a second then go out. The last one glows on one end the middle doesn't light at all. I am beyond frustrated :mad: i tried twisting the bulbs nothing happens any ideas. I know the ballast is Goidelic because the old bulbs work fine.

Did you try changing the order of the bulbs? Check the connections on the ends. Thats all i can think of unless they sold you bad bulbs.

Their should be nothing inside your bulbs. What kind of bulbs are you buying. I have Giesmans Uvls and a couple aquamedics in my T5 fixture

I'll enlighten you differently. I have seen them on several occasions with new bulbs. Shouldn't be a factor.
