WTB: Aquarium light fixture

I need to replace my 48" aquarium lights, as 2 of my pc light ballasts have now broken. I am looking for a reasonably priced pc, T5 or halide light fixture (hint: I don't have a ton to spend!). I do not have a canopy, so this needs to be a fixture with feet for the top. Please email me what you have and how much you want for it!
Thanks,
Tina

What brand of fixture do you have? I had a ballast go out on my Coralife fixture and after a few calls to them I was able to get a part number from them after which I called Hellolights and they ordered the ballast for me and they were cheap about $21. Which would be cheaper then buying a whole new light, I do have a extra 2x96W pc ballast new, lying around.

Light fixture

Steve,
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately my light is an Odyssea that I bought off Ebay about a year and a half ago. So getting it fixed by the manufacturer isn't going to work. Plus the fan stopped working a while ago and since it only had one fan, it didn't really cool the lights. I have since learned my lesson about buying the cheap brands!
Thanks,
Tina

Found light fixture

Thanks to Aaron, I found a metal halide light fixture that I could afford! My wallet and my corals are in love!
Thanks Aaron,
Tina
