Lighting for Eclipse 6

[applepie42]

Hello. I'm setting up an Eclipse 6 and I was wondering if anyone could suggest some lighting upgrades for it. I just want some softies and maybe 1 fish.
Thanks

You'll have to rip out the insides of the lighting parts in the Eclipse to add better lights in. You need a ballast, socket, bulb clips, and the bulb. I think a 9 watt PC bulb is all that will fit. That will be enough for some mushrooms, zoos, GSP, and maybe some xenia.

Not sure which model Eclipse you got, but I just purchased one and then got a 10watt 50/50 bulb that fit in it perfectly...Check at your LFS..

What kind of bulb was it? A power compact or a normal output?
