I have done two mods and it just depeds on what you want. It is very easy to add one more pc 36 watt bulb and ballast. Its about $40 for the setup. Ballast and bulb and clip. I would get the 50/50 bulb if you are planning on that one. And then you could go to a halide upgrade. I have a thread posted in the Nano section of my biocube 29 that I converted over to a 70 watt 14k halide with a 36 watt pc actinic bulb. Very nice setup. remember this bulb is only about 3 inches off the water . Mine is built into stock hood. I ave actually just put it up for sale because I have went to a 75g setup. Good luck. Take a look on here in nano section. I posted pics. about $200 buck all together in the halide upgrade.
