Have I missed anything...

So I should stay away from Solaris...

You have to. They went out of business because of patenting reasons.

I have a half broken PFO Solaris set-up sitting in my closet. :shock: :(

Did you check the local RC forum recently? I think someone was trying to sell Solaris parts. Maybe he has something you need?

 

[dcantucson]

No because I haven't needed it since I got the new MH/T5 a year and a half ago. I can't see spending the money to fix it when I'll probably never use it again. It needs a new ballast and it is the second time one went out on it. So if I got if replaced it would probably just do it again. :(

What size is it?

Someone might want to salvage the parts and build their own LED out of it. Try putting it up in the classifieds

I got the 60" fixture. I've hung onto it in case I wanted to use the LED lights in some kind of application someday and because the thing cost almost $4,000. Wow what a loss. Think of how much coral that would buy.

Unfortunatly, that happens when you adopt a new technology. The kinks still need to be worked out.

that is why I was waiting on my original setups prior to the move to switch to LED.. from what I have read now.. they have become much more reliable.. lets hope so at least.

I am just looking at setting up a 55 gallon system.. so it shouldn't cost too much to light it...

You could try selling it to the guy that was trying to sell his parts?? :lol:
