Lighting emergency

So, asked my wife to help with a water change. She dumped a bucket directly over a Hydra 26. It now does not work. I've cleaned it and am letting it sit for the night in hopes it will work tomorrow.

But, if not, I'll be in emergency find a light mode.

IF this happens:

If anyone is looking to sell a Hydra 26, I'm your guy.

If anyone is looking to sell LEDs for adequate coverage of a mixed coral 90g, I'm your guy.

If none of the above, what are opinions on recent LEDs for a 90g? I may consider replacing with the Hydra 26 HDs, or possibly a Hydra 52HD. Any input appreciated.

BTW, I'll be taking the dive on the lights within the next 2-3 days at most, tomorrow at earliest.

Thanks,
M

I have two mars aqua (one 6 months old and one new). Feel free to borrow them until you find your replacements. I am thinking about setting up a hybrid with T5's but now they just sit there doing nothing. Maybe winter I will get the time to do it ...

The HD models are worth it if you are not getting enough light, they are brighter. If your coverage is good, an upgrade to them won't really do much.
