WTB 4' CF light

[naps]

So my light over my 90 gallon just went out and I am in desperate need to find a new one before my plants start to die. :icon_hang:

I am looking for a coralife 4 x 65w 48" CF light preferably because that is what i had before. If anyone has one of these guys just laying around please let me know.

Thanks.

Can not the one you had be fixed, or the bulbs replaced?

It's not the bulbs, I moved them around. It's the ballast I am guessing and the light is older. The plastic around the sides of the light has become very britle and I am afraid it would just crumble when I take the light apart to replace it.

Sounds like a accident waiting to happen, I agree, a new light is in order. wish I could help, good luck.

Try posting over on MARSHReef.com

On occassion I see a few listed over there.

I believe Andy over at Fishland (on westheimer) has a nice 48 inch Nova Extreme, made by current.
I think he has it on sale for just over a hundred dollars.

Downside: somewhat expensive
Upside: Brand new bulbs.

I'm guessing you don't wanna wait for shipping huh?

Cut down the co2 and the minimize the dosing if you do to keep things at a stand still till you get new lighting.

Yep already on it... I might wait for shipping, but I wanted to see if anyone had a used light to sell. Trying not to spend a lot of loot on this one. Why do things always break down when you are broke???

The Current light mght be an option though if no one here has one, thanks CichlidFan!

This is also what I might do too...(is this too good to be true??)

That's not bad...

I was gonna suggest the HelloLight.com TEK knockoff but they are out of stock.

You're welcome Naps....I bought one of those twin bulb Nova Extemes, they are nice lights. I'm not sure it is the best lighting for plants, I guess it would depend on how deep your tank is and what kind of plants your keeping....anyway...again....good luck.
