better lighting for eclipse 12

[krishj39]

My friend has a 12g acrylic eclipse system. I don't know how many watts of light the PC that comes with the system is, but it isn't enough to keep many corals. He has actually successfully kept mushrooms, capnella and zoos for 9 months. His mushrooms have grown huge and thin to get enough light, but they are definitely still "thriving." He started with 5 mushrooms and now he probably has 30. ANYWAY, what kind of lighting can he put in that hood to replace the current one and give him more light? I'm sure some of you guys have had to do it, what did you use?

i would retofit a 32 watt pc. that would be good for what he needs.

Is there anybody with more than the 32 retro?
How about a moon light?
Pictures would be great.

what is the size of the tank? i am thinking maybe the 96w retro might fit, but it is like 18 inches long. just an idea

I have the Eclipse 12 and have the 32 watt retro. Another guy on a different board had 64 watts. I am now pretty sick of my tank and am upgrading to iether halides or an 80 watt power compact.
