OK where to start?
I picked up this tank about 4 months ago and love it.
But this morning I threw the switch on for the lights and went to take my shower, later on I came back to the tank and no lights.
I felt the top of the tank and it was burning up!!!!! I puled the cord out of the wall and took the top off. I insistently smelled that all so familiar burned electronics smell I new right away that it was the transformer. when I finally got a chance to take it apart to see what kind of transformer it was so rusted that I couldn't pull any info off of it.
I have spent the last hour searching online to find anyone who has this tank only to find that it was discontinued in "03". I just want to put this thing back together on the cheep. any Ideas?
ps. It just has a 12 inch Hagen 8 Watt Bulb. all I need to know is what size transformer should I get to replace the old one?
