Help! My Light Melted

[TRIX]

Well I feel pretty stupid having to ask this question. But here it goes. I mounted my 48" Coralife T5 fixture a little to close to the water and well, When the power switch is turned OFF the Actinic flickers but won't stay on. When I turn the power switch ON The end cap on the 10k sparks. The cap has melted a little bit. Now the question is are
- Should I tear the fixture and do a retro fit on the canopy.
- Can I get new end caps and other parts for this fixture.
- Is it worth any of this or am I waisting my time on a $99.00 Light
- I don't have many $$$ in my reef account

Also without having any Corals at the moment how hard is no light on the critters in the tank.
