Need To Borrow LED

[ReefCheif]

I need to borrow an LED fixture for hopefully not more than a couple weeks. Wondering if anyone can help me out.

My tank went through a re-cycle, I moved all my corals and live stock into my sons 14 gallon. I was borrowing a bulb style LED from Josh Goukas, but when the lights came on this morning the thing was flashing like a strobe light. So not only do I not have a light over the tank I now owe Josh a new bulb.

Im wondering if anyone has a LED fixture I can borrow for a bit, doesnt have to be anything special, my corals just hate the T5 light Adam has on his tank as we have that set up to grow plants and macros.

Let me know if you have anything, doesnt have ot be special, just blue and white is fine, I only need it for a little while.

What size tank is it?

 

[ReefCheif]

14 gallon bio cube is the tank I need the temporary light for.

I could pull the LED off my 29, but its such a pain in the ***** and I would prefer no to if I dont have to

shoot the only LED I have would cook your corals at 10%.

I have the ability to hang it high above the tank.

I have a 250 halide that you could use.

The problem is acclimation, all my corals are used to the LED, thats why they dont like the T5. All Adams corals do fine under the T5, but mine hate it. Id be afraid the MH would have the same affect.

I have one but it needs some minor soldering repair only half of it works right now because the wires corroded and broke off

 

[SilverSurfer]

I don't have a soldering gun but your welcome to use it as long as you need it was a diy project came with the tank when I bought it for the sump grows corals pretty well actually softies anyway. Pretty basic but it might get you through if you don't find anything better

Sorry to hear about this hopefully everything pulls through and you are able to get a light sooner than later

Sorry Seth the club has never owned any leds or any type of lights for that matter to loan out. I wish we did for times like these
Great idea of something we should talk about adding to the mix though for sure.

Hmmm I remember there being some loaners out there. they must have been someone's personal ones.
