    Default Help Please? 2 bulb T5 light to borrow

    I had a Ballast blow so I am down to 2 bulbs. Does anyone have a 2 or 4 bulb fixture I can borrow or a T5HO Ballast I can buy? I just need something i can borrow short term until I can buy a Ballast. I live in Swartz Creek if someone lives in the Flint, Fenton, Linden area or nearby.
    I can't drive right now. I am having eye surgery on Wed. to fix a cataract problem that came up as a side effect of the strong meds I have had to take this year.

    You can PM or text me. My number is 810-908-1776

    Thanks in advance,
    Vicki

    George (Roscoe_68 on MR) from White Lake brought by a fixture this morning. It doesn't have the legs to stand on the edge of the tank so my husband is working to figure out how to make it work.
    Meanwhile, both of my Powerheads have quit working! Crazy! They are Koralias. I have a tiny Penquin in my sump I am going to put in the tank for now. I have great surface agitation from the return flow accelerators but no flow in the bottom. I noticed my nem wasn't not moving at all and my duncans are all stringy looking. So now I have to figure out this issue.
    Don't know why there always seems to be more than one issue hit at one time.

    We were able to take the legs off my other fixture and screw them onto the fixture Tom dropped off so I have lights! Yay.
    Also I worked on my pumps this afternoon and finally got them going. Don't know what the problem was, I just fiddled with them and they finally came on. I am a bit leary of the wavemaker now. Don't think I am going to try that yet.
