Looking for Sunlight Supply Maristar fixture

I don't suppose there are any vendors on Canreef that can still source me a 72" Sunlight Supply Maristar Halide+T5 combo fixture ?

Sunlight Supply is no longer in the business

Ya, i did.. I'm also trying to add a bunch of new halides to my tank too, but my fixture has a faulty module apparently

Still have two out of 3 halides going so I'm kinda of hobbling along. Not sure what I'm going to do at this point... The writing may be on the wall. I am googling new Halide+T5 fixtures at the moment though, to see what's available out there these days.

A friends tank I look after had his magnetic ballast die, replaced it with a led fixture and he actually misses his halide

Galaxy ballasts. I don't think they are the issue because I swapped ballasts around and no matter what combination I do, the same two light up and the same dead one doesn't :-(

Ya I know giessmann still make them but they are so expensive. Plus, I can't hang the fixture from my ceiling as I have a high vaulted ceiling over the tank. If I recall, giessmann doesn't support legs.
