Hello group,
I have a 46 gallon bow front tank with an all-glass 36" CF 110w hood. Its a
freshwater setup with lots of plants and about 24 fish (angelfish, clown
loaches, neon tetra's and a couple Ram's). last Sunday my all-glass hood
stopped working. Not sure why, I thought it was the ballast. I couldn't
find any LFS that had what I was looking for as a replacement so I purchased
a 36" dual coralife aqualite online from hellolights.com. I don't think It
will arrive for at least 4 more day's. do you think my fish and plants will
survive the wait?
any advice in this matter is appreciated.

Thanks,

James

The fish could care less, the plants should be OK for a few days.

I just checked the ups tracking number for my new lamps and it looks like I
wont be receiving them until the 29th of December. that would make it 8
days without light.
I was assured on the phone by the shipping department I would receive them
no later than the 26th.

oh well.

James
