Did you only break some bulbs or the whole fixture? If it was just the bulbs ask around in your area and see if anyone has some old ones lying around that they could give you for free (what length were they?).

We carry ballasts and T5 ends if that is the problem along with an assortment of fixtures.

Yup, a fire usually means toast. Did anything die in your tank?

Default T5 Ballasts

Eecol electrical wholesalers can supply a twin bulb 4 foot light fitting with ballast and everything for about $50.00, you need to find someone who has an account though. 6500k bulbs are about $6 although not sure if they are ok for a reef.

Good luck

Don't need an account for eecol, homedepot would be cheaper by far a 4' 2lamp strip.
