T5's in an orbit housing?

[vbsaltydog]

I have an orbit 24" power compact that fits perfectly over my 55g AGA corner bowfront but I keep hearing that T5's are great. Does anyone know if there is a retrofit kit or how to otherwise retrofit the 24" orbit with T5's and will 24" T5's out perform 24" power compacts?
Thanks for the advise

t5's generally are a better setup. I dont know about retrofitting because they will require thier own ballast and the orbit has the ballast built in that will probably not work correctly for the t5's.
Im sure you can find a 24" t5 fixture, its just not going to be cheap
Good luck
