13watt Bright Kits

[galina]

Hi,
Does anyone here have any experience with the 13 watt bright kits from AHsupply.com?
I plan to buy a 2 gallon tank by topfin, (and remove the undergravel filter and add other equipment..), but how small is the retrofit system with the bulb? I want something that I can shove into the hood to replace the existing FLO.
Any help is appreciated,
Galina

I don't have experience with those kits, but thanks for sharing! That is a great price, esp. considering where I live the a 13 pc bulb cost just five dollars less than the entire kit you are looking at!
If I were you, for that price, I would just order it and cut the reflector to size if need be.
Here is a pic of my 'retro-fit' for my 6 gallon eclipse tank. I literally just screwed everything into the hood. The pink stuff are balloons cut up and pulled on for waterproofing. None of it is pretty, but it works.

Good luck!
A more expensive option is the 'E-Z Ballast by Coralife.' It is waterproof and looks great, but it doesn't come with a reflector.
