View Full Version : DIY lighting for Eclipse 6 tank?

I have an Eclipse 6 aquarium, and my bulb is fried. Condensation got into the bulb/ballast area and killed it. So rather than toss the tank in the trash, I was wondering if any of you have put a DIY lighting system on one of these?

I'd appreciate any details -- what works, what doesn't, etc. Thanks a lot!

I put one of these 13 w brightlight kits on my eclipse 3 gallon tank with one of thier 10,000 k bulbs and it is bright! You may be able to use the 2X13 on the 6 gallon.
