Default SPS Dying

Hi Guys,

Durring the Christmas season my sump broke as some of you might know. Since then, Concept has built be a new sump and everything is looking good. During the chaos with the sump leak, my power packs for my Radions have fried so I decided to order an ATI fixture from Concepts. Problem is, it wont arrive for another month and my SPS corals are slowly dying each day. I currently run a "Glo" t5 fixture from my old tank but its not cutting it. Is there anything I can do? Im afraid by the time my fixture comes in , all my sps corals are dead already. Seems like every time I come home, its getting worse. Just frustrated here.... Anything I can do??? I spent enough money on the new sump and new fixture, I don't want to spend more money on a temporary fixture for a month

You're right, a month will likely be too long. I'd try to borrow something or buy some used lights that you can resell close to what you paid for them.

What size is your tank? I may have a T5HO you can borrow.

Yikes, nothing that big and I don't know if it'll penetrate that deep.

Go to the Home Depot and buy a couple led work lights their about 60$ a piece won't be pretty but it'll give some lumens
