billm January 19, 2009 Share January 19, 2009 Tonight my light's quit working I have Current T5 nova lights 2 bulbs worked 2 did not (Bulbs are new) but I switched them out anyway no luck. took the light's apart now none of them work. I want to buy new lights and want to stick with the T5 but I'm gonna go with 6 bulbs. 2 questions. 1. what brand should I go with or should I stick with Current? 2. I plan on rush delivery but how long can my corals go w/o light? I have mostly zoa's and mushrooms, a couple flower pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnguyen4007 January 19, 2009 Share January 19, 2009 I have my light off for 3 days without any problem. If you're thinking of something like a week, that I'm not sure if they will survive that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sturnmeyer January 19, 2009 Share January 19, 2009 Sounds like you have a blown ballast. If I am understanding, you currently have 2 bulbs working though, correct? If, then they'll be fine until you get a replacement. I personally have the Tek T5 fixtures and love them. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, still sounds like a blown ballast, but I wouldn't worry for 2-3 days. I sometimes leave mine off intentionally for that period.

sen5241b January 26, 2009 Share January 26, 2009 If you have multiple ballasts, did you try switching them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
