I was wondering if its possible to retrofit a 150W Mh aqua medic pendant into a 12 gal nanocube lid somehow. has anyone ever done something like this? I would imagine heat would be my first issue.....
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hang the pendant over the tank, ditch the lid and make a pond netting screen top for it. 150 over a 12 gallon is overkill IMO.

Thanks Acrylic and Spanko.
Ive seen your pond netting setup and it is pretty impressive. I was thinking of making one for my 55 gal
As for the lighting being overkill I agree. I think a BTA would look sweet in my new nano( after work Im picking it up) and I think the stock lighting is not sufficent. Im just weighing my options.
Thanks

IMO you could get away with a 70 watt clip on MH light.
On the anemone in a 12 gallon, it will outgrow the tank very quickly.
Just my opinion.
