I was told that there is a conversion kit for my eclipse hood that would enable me to put (2) two 55wt lights or even (1) one. Could anyone help me. The reason Im asking about the lights is so i could put live coral in my tank.
Thanx Andy
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What size eclipse? petsolutions carries a retrofit for the eclipse12 system. 32 watt PC. That's the only one I remember seeing, but I'm sure there are more.

Ya i have that setup for the 6 gal. the only problem is the heat it puts off and the tank reaches about 90 in less then 5 hours. But other than that you can grown anything and everything

You can use a computer fan and hook it up to one of those 120VAC to 12VDC power supplies. You know the ones that come with cd players, cell phones, printers, etc. Find one that is around the voltage requirement for your fan and it should do fine. Glad you like the light, sorry about the heat, but it's pretty much a fact of life. On such a small tank it might be a little easier if you raise the light fixture above the water an inch or two farther than what you have. Good luck!
