Hi Guys,

Durring the Christmas season my sump broke as some of you might know. Since then, Concept has built be a new sump and everything is looking good. During the chaos with the sump leak, my power packs for my Radions have fried so I decided to order an ATI fixture from Concepts. Problem is, it wont arrive for another month and my SPS corals are slowly dying each day. I currently run a "Glo" t5 fixture from my old tank but its not cutting it. Is there anything I can do? Im afraid by the time my fixture comes in , all my sps corals are dead already. Seems like every time I come home, its getting worse. Just frustrated here.... Anything I can do??? I spent enough money on the new sump and new fixture, I don't want to spend more money on a temporary fixture for a month :(

You're right, a month will likely be too long. I'd try to borrow something or buy some used lights that you can resell close to what you paid for them.

What size is your tank? I may have a T5HO you can borrow.

Yikes, nothing that big and I don't know if it'll penetrate that deep.

Go to the Home Depot and buy a couple led work lights their about 60$ a piece won't be pretty but it'll give some lumens

Yikes 30" depth, not many inexpensive short term solutions for a tank of that depth.

I don't have much to offer, other than wishing some good luck. Maybe someone from Calgary will see the thread and have something you can borrow in the meantime.

Can't get a replacement for the Radion power supply? What voltage & wattage do they produce? Maybe you can source something local to get them back up until the new lights arrive.

Maybe give Concepts a call, I've seen several Radion power supplys hanging out in their room. I am sure they can help you out.
