    It’s likely one of 3 things:

     

    1. (Most likely) a single led on that channel has burned out, causing a break in the circuit and the channel to go out. You can diagnose with a multimeter, the one I use will actually illuminate LEDs if they are good. Once found, use a soldiering iron and remove led and replace. Closer to 400nm and below LEDs tend to have the shortest lifespan. Blue channels tend to be effected more because of this.

     

    2. Driver for that channel has gone out. Replacement will be needed and may need soldiered in if it doesn’t have a simple molex plug.

     

    3. (Least likely) something in the controller has failed causing the channel to not switch on. I would diagnose other issues first.

     

    Id be more then happy to diagnose and fix if possible for you but I am an hour North...

    Thanks so much man, Went out and bought a multimeter this morning and found there are 2 LED's that are out causing the blues to be out. Do you know of a good place to buy LED Diodes?

  2. So curious as to if anyone can assist, I currently have a reefcorner 180P (programmable 180 Watt LED light) and it appears one of my blue channel is out. any ideas on how to trouble shoot and find/repair the problem?

  3. I have a CO2 tank and calcium reactor but the regulator is pretty corroded and last time I filled my tank (5 or 10lb tank I believe) it emptied in a week and I had it barely opened so I believe it has a leak somewhere in the regulator and am looking to replace it but not wanting to spend a bunch on it. Was considering buying a reg from a brewing store but didn’t know if those types would work for this.
