Lights are dead

[stimpy4242]

Any suggestions on temporary lighting? I have contacted coralife and they are sending new ballasts...but for now I have no lights. The only true thing that needs light is my new BTA. How long is it going to go without lights? Any suggestions on temporary lighting? Currently I threw a small 40 watt fluorescent and a 60w incandescent lamp...any other suggestions?

Do you know when will you be getting the new ballasts?

Also how big is your tank?

55 gallons and the ballasts are supposed to be here friday...supposed to be.

You should be fine.

I have seen BTA in LFS with less light than that. I believe if it's only for a couple of days it will not hurt him.

My BTA went 10 days without light after hurrican and did fine.
