Good morning all. I have a question, but first I'll introduce myself and give you a little background.
My name is Matt and I'm fairly new to saltwater. I've had freshwater tanks most of my adult life, but decided to try my hand at salt about 4 years ago after buying a 54 corner tank off Craigslist from a saltwater guy. After buying the live rock and live sand and setting the tank, I let it run a month or better before adding any livestock (fish only tank) and had pretty good success...other than a few water quality issues that were diverted before they became catastrophic. After watching this tank thrive for several months, I started scouring Craigslist for a larger tank. After a few months, I found one that was listed as 200 gallons by a freshwater guy. After checking it out for leaks and other issues, I bought it and set it up (BTW...after measuring and converting cubic feet to gallons, it seems to be 150 gallons...AND I wish it would've been drilled for a sump). That tank is now doing well in my living room as a fish only tank and we've now changed the 54 to a reef tank with good success. I then decided to bring my hobby to work (with permission from both the employer boss and the matrimonial boss), so the hunt for a smaller nano-type tank was on. After looking for 6 months or so, I finally found the one...a 28g JBJ Nano Cube CF Quad with everything in tact and working except the transformer for the 4 moonlights was missing. I found one on MarineandReef.com, ordered it and plugged it in.
Now the question.....drum roll please.....are the moonlights supposed to blink? If so, why? If not, how do I fix the problem?
Alright...so that was 3 questions and not just one.
Have a great day, Salty Dogs, and thanks, in advance, for any help!!

I'm an idiot when it comes to wiring. Suggestion? Comments? Snide remarks?
