Im thinking about an HQI with 70W.
At the moment i have this Selfmadecover Here Its made of L316 Steel (Chirurgie Steel)
I can build a new one, remove the bulb in the midlen an replace it with an 70W HQI + 4x24W PC.

But the HQI must be small with an integrated reflector and a anti uv glass.
Where can I get parts like this, or can u give me some tipps?
I don't know if they ship to Germany, but these sites have components availible for 70MH's.

As for the UV glass, ordinary window glass will block over 90% of UV and should be fine. If you are worried, some window companies provide UV treatments. They sometimes have scrap pieces of glass, and may just give you some.
However, the sun also puts out a lot of UV, so I wouldn't worry too much personally and would just use regular glass.
