    Sounds like fairly normal fluorescent behavior. Your starter might be starting to fail. Cheap to replace.
    8 tanks running now:
    1x 220 gallon, 2x55 gallon, 1x40 gallon long, 1x29 gallon, 1x20 gallon long, 1x5.5 gallon, 1x2 gallon

    Ö OHIO-IN!!!!!

    Anyways, yeah normal thing for most stock fluorsecent fixtures. All mine do it. It probably is the starter, but I wouldn't replace it. I run my starters until they die.

    Like GM said, your starter might be getting old. Maybe the bulb too.
