I have a 24gallon nanocube and want to add potentially two more 32watt PC's. nanocustoms has a single pc kit which I might end up getting but I was wondering if any of you found a retro kit with two pc bulbs. I figure if i'm going through the trouble of modding the hood it better be a decent upgrade in lighting, right?

thanks
marc

Champion Lighting (http://www.championlighting.com) is running a deal on a 2X28 retro and they will substitute for different lamps for a small fee, just e-mail them.

nanocustoms is only good if you have alot of money to blow and they dont have their 24 kits up yet i dont think i think for now its only a pre order

I looked at several of the options suggested above and although some had better prices, I felt more comfortable with nanocustoms reputation and the owner, chris, was very informative on the phone. I am concerned about doing the mod myself, mainly for safety reasons so I wanted a retro that for sure would fit and work in the nano canopy. I bought an upgrade kit which includes a 36watt true actinic pc, a t5 true actinic, a modified heat shield, and the wiring to alter the standard ballast. the kit ran ~130(if i remember correctly) I thank you all for your replies and if i can figure out how to post pics, I'll update this thread with my progress.
