Hi everyone
I'm just in the process of setting up my first tropical tank, and have been doing a lot of reading! But I'm a bit stuck on lighting, the hood that I have is a black plastic one with 2 clips for where the bulb would go, but no contacts or anything for the bulb to connect to, and no other wiring (sorry if I'm using the wrong terms!).
I went down to my local store and they only sold loose replacement bulbs, or new hoods with a bulb ready fitted, and they couldn't suggest what I might do rather than buy a new hood.
I don't mind having to buy a new one if that's what it needs but as the hood has clips there must have been a bulb fitted and working. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex
