one of my radions went out and the buttons are blinking red. I unplug it or factory reset it from my computer and it comes back on for maybe 15 seconds then goes out again. I've tried plugging in to a different ballast and that doesn't help any. I've gone through all of the trouble shooting that ecotech provides in their website to no avail.

I can't get ahold of ecotech because their offices are closed until Tuesday and by the time I ship the light out, they fix it, and get it back to me it could be another week to week and a half. Should I buy a cheap fixture for the center of my aquarium until I receive it back from ecotech or will the corals under it be ok for maybe 2 weeks?

Things that are effected by the light being out, 10 large polyp of some sort of zoa, 5 small polyp frag of Rasta zoas, 3 inch toadstool leather, monti cap frag, 2 brain frags, and half of my torch

You will be fine, we do 72 hour complete black outs all the time with no issues.

If it turns into a long term thing I probably have a light to borrow. Or if easily moved, just place them of to the sides under the working lights.
