Hi all!
I'm wrapping up the planning stages on a an Eclipse 12 for a mantis tank. I was fishing for opinions on refitting the lighting: I was thinking along the following lines:
1: 2x 36w kits, one for actinic (not a true actinic I know, but good enough for me) and a white bulb. keep the current 13w in there, replace it with a red bulb for night viewing.
Will this fit in the hood?
2: pull the 13w, get the single ballast 36w kit w/2 bulbs, one white, one actinic
3: add 3 13w bulbs to the hood, 2 each.
all thoughts and comments welcome!
