Need 36" light

[daddio]

Turned on the light on the new tank and POP. The ballast is a goner. Anyone have a 36 inch cheap fixture laying around?
Cheers! Mark

What type of light fixture was it? MH,T5,Led? brand?Might be able replace ballast

 

[daddio]

It is a high output T5 with 4-24 inch tubes. I'm unable to find a new ballast locally, I guess I will order one online but it might take a week to get here.

I have at home buried in the closet an Aquactinics, 2x39T5 2x250mh...
It has its history but is brand spanking new.
I also have a nice 4x24T5 that you can borrow.
I retrofitted it with T5 lamps a while back, used to hold PC lamps.
Also, now that you dust my memory, a Coralife retrofitted with two T5 and a center MH, can't recall if 150 or 250 DE...

Thanks guys! Gonna run to the lighting store and check for a ballast

I’ve got a 48 inch T5 if you want it

Thanks for all the great offers, I'm in San Jose right now and just picked up two new ballasts at Granger, hopefully it does the trick

Okay, we are back in business. Replaced the ballast, found the short, and raised the light a little more off the water. Thanks again for all the generous offers!

Sounds good! What I really need is another 36 inch 6 bulb t5

I've been meaning to sell my 36" Reefbreeders/blackbox LED light. Let me know if that is something you want.

Worth looking into, what model? How much are you looking to get?

I'll send you some pictures when I get home tonight.
