the eclipse hoods are supposedly extremely difficult to upgrade in regards to lighting, but it can be done. Anemones require intense light that the Eclipse flourescent bulbs just can't produce, check out ahsupply.com, they have many many retrofit kits that can probably be adapted, also check out the following site, the author details upgrading the lights in an eclipse system 6, similar design, just smaller: http://www.theibarras.com/nanoreef/ . Hope that helps.
