miked1974 Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hello All, I am new to this forum, but I was just wondering is the SuperNova 32W Smartlite Retorfit kit by Custom Sealife, the same as the 32W Smartlite Retrofit kit? A LFS in my area has a 6 Gallon eclipse reef set up for sale, but I know I can put the pieces together for much cheaper if I buy on-line. Does anyone know where I can get the above retrofit kit? I greatly appreciate any help anyone can provide. Thanks, Mike Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 The SuperNova kit is essentially the same as the SmartLite Retro, however, the SuperNova has a rubber, moisture resistant endcap on it, which is essential to have if the light is going to be over open water, like in an eclipse 6 or 12 system.

miked1974 Posted August 29, 2002 Author Share Posted August 29, 2002 Do you know where, on-line I can purchase that particular kit? I have only seen the Smartlite kit and it doesn't say anything about SuperNova. Thanks for the help, Mike Link to comment
Drysocket Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 I'm not sure if they're the same or not. I've got the Supernova on my Eclipse 12. I bought it from this site. Link to comment
Korbin Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Chris, what happened to the store?! I wanna buy an actinic bulb! Where can I get another 32 watt powercompact? Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Nano Reef Aquaria was recently closed. Take a look at www.nanoreefaquaria.com Mike, I used to sell the supernova at Nano Reef Aquaria...but since closing I don't have any left in stock. I believe petwarehouse has them for sale...though I couldn't find it on their site, I remember seeing it in their catalog. Link to comment
Drysocket Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Ooops....sorry. I'm distributing false info. Link to comment
miked1974 Posted August 29, 2002 Author Share Posted August 29, 2002 Chris, Thanks for your help! I know you used to sell it, but it looks like I am about a month late! Took a while to convince my wife to let me get a small tank, since she wouldn't let me go bigger than my 55 gallon. Drs. Foster and SMith have the SmartLite but it doesn't say anything about the rubber end cap and the picture doesn't look like it has it. I can't find them anywhere on-line, but I will keep trying, cuz I know i can find it cheaper than what the LFS is selling it for. Thanks again Mike Link to comment
harbingerofthefish Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 I haven't seen the Supernovas either, only the Smartlites. Flying Fish does have all there CSL stuff marked down though. $40 for the kit, $20 for the bulbs. Link to comment

Christopher Marks Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 I would imagine that any place that sells CSL products could atleast special order one for you. marineandreef.com uses a supplier that I did, so I know they could get it for you. Link to comment
chufa Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I ordered my supernova 32W retro for my 12 gallon eclpise from Yahoo! shopping (sub-vendor is afishybusiness.com) Link to comment
kimura Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I'm going to get mine at hellolights.com. It's pretty cheap, and they have really great deals right now. Link to comment

chufa Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 $69.95 I think, not including S/H. Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Hey Chris, is there any way you could just sell SuperNova retrofit kits on this site...? There seems to be a lot of interests in these kits and you were selling them cheaper then anyone else on the web... Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Well...I might be able to for just a few... Post here if you're interested...My going price was $63.90 including shipping. Then I guess I could have some sent from my old supplier if enough people need them. Link to comment
