Coralife Aqualight Pro mod

good, job, the only thing I would have done different is used solid wire for your marette connectors as that what they are designed for and stranded will work loose over time.

you could use a smaller bell shaped crimp connector if you have it apart again as these would give you more room as they are about 1/2 the dia of the marette connectors you used. you can get them from car stereo installers or suppliers along that line.

I agree with you Steve, but the only thing that made me change my mind on them was that Coralife used them originally and some of them were burned right through and melted when I opened it up the first time. That alarmed me, so I thought I would use marettes instead.

ahh, thats what you were talking about being burnt.

I have been looking for the extrusions they use to make these light fixtures so I can make my own setup, but they are hard to find.. I guess getting a old unit and breathing new life into it is an option now that I see some one else has done it

if yer looking for those sunblaster fixtures, try a hydroponics shop. they will sell them for less cuz they market to hippies who have no money while local fish stores market to people with cash, hence the price discrepancy!
