Depends how much your willing to stress your animal. A few days no big deal, a week or more now it's getting stressed

I'm not sure how long it will take , hope not too long. Hope they can repair it fast.

You can always get a high PAR led light from Lowes or Home Depot with a cheap fixture. That along with some small feedings it should be good for far longer.

Just reacclimate to stronger LEDs once the time comes.

Just be prepared that even in the short term, the lack/change of light may make the nem move.

Good one that's the real danger, getting into a power head or stinging other animals

It's making me very frustrated. Why is everything going wrong these few days.

I live in an apartment and we have limited space here for backup equipment.

I would get some cheap light and either use screw on PC or Fluorescent light tube on the tank while wait for the light to be repair

The shop lend their light fixture to me until my fixture is repaired, it's the same fixture as I have . So the problem is solved. So happy now. But I think I will buy a par38 as backup.

Do you think this 1 is good to go?
