PC lights submerged in the tank
my 96 watt coralife power compact fixture took a swim yesterday i immediately turned it off and have had a fan on it within seconds i dismantled it also. One bulb broke in the tank when it fell and now has water in it so thats a goner i'm just wondering does anyone know the chances of this thing working again? this sucks big time i was gettin ready to purchase a bigger tank and stand and the bam this happens, shitters oh well what can ya do.

I dropped a coralife PC fixture into the water for just a few seconds a couple of years ago as well. The ballast was toast afterwards but it was pretty easy to replace it with a new one. I believe J&L sells them.

Give Joshua a call in marine aquaria Edmonton he will be able to get you the parts you you need. I had a broken light and he tracked down the ballasts for me.
