+etannert Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hi all - Does anyone have a T5, clamp-on MH, or par38 bulb I can borrow for a few days? The ballast on my Solana went out and I'm having trouble finding a replacement. After a week of combo of my pico light (a Wavepoint LED) and whatever intermittent light happens when the light wants to come on, some of my corals are less than happy and it's time to get them a better source. I have one of those stupid long band director days tomorrow so if you're in Georgetown (where I teach) and can help, that would be great as I have some flexibility on when I can stop by. If not, anyone in N. or Central Austin who doesn't mind me stopping by late! Thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Is it the normal solana pendant? I have a pendant from the 150W MH disco ball fixture you can borrow. I can bring it to my office if you want to pick it up tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I have a nanocube 28 hood with a 150-watt MH in it that you can try to balance over your tank if you want. Sorry, that's the best I have. I'm using my 250-watt MH over my frag tank, otherwise I would have that to let you borrow. If you want to try the nanocube 28 hood, give me a chance to fire it up first to make sure it works. It's been in storage for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+reeflover Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Got a set 250w of metal halide, pendant and ballast with Phoenix bulb I can loan you. Lmk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+etannert Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Jestep - sorry, just now saw this. Yes it's the Solana disco ball fixture, just need the ballast with the attached cords as there's nothing wrong with the fixture/bulb section. Reeflover - thanks for the offer, where are you located? Ty - thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in reserve for right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+reeflover Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I am by parmer and Avery ranch. The bulb still have 6 months left before I switched to led. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have the ballast/wires from when I replaced my fixture with LED in my solana, but I won't be where I can look for it for a few days.

+etannert Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks Mike! I borrowed Reeflover's for the time being, but still seeking the permanent solution since it appears this ballast is no longer manufactured. Might just be time to covert the fixture to a par38 bulb.

victoly Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Or you know, a 250w MH radium that someone might be selling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
