I've had this 72" Aqua Medics lighting fixture for about 8 years or so. It has 3 250w MH fixtures in the middle, and 2 strips of T5 lighting on the sides (two 2x 36' lengthwise).
Over time, i've replaced the central MH fixtures and external ballasts as they have worn out. I've not had the T5 fixtures fail until now. My problem is getting the reflector to
slide out the 6 foot length of the fixture without destroying it. Other than a YouTube video addressing a 36" fixture (not totally applicable), not much on line, and no manual.
Is is fixable, or just trash it and change to LED? I have soft corals and fish, one hard coral.
Thanks for the advice!
