AH supply kits

[Bk718]

Possibly but the problem is a 36W with a 17" long reflector is probably not going to light the whole 4' length of the tank... unless you dont mind it being a bit darker near the ends.

i am thinking about getting 2 ah supply 36 watt kits for my 55. that would bring my wattage up to about 1 wpg. do i reuse my hood, and take out the original tube/ballast, and install the kit there? or do i buy a new hood? thanks, im a newbie when it comes to this!

but still has plenty of spaces with uneven light

bk I was referring to the use of one 36W which I quoted, yes two would give much better coverage obviously. just didnt want anyone to take MG to literally, yes 1 36W kit with their reflectors will probably blow the spiral cfl's away in intensity but to little coverage for 4' length.

it was just trying to show how they not as efficient as ah.

heres the socket i am going to use if anybody cares. lol. i will have 2 of them on each hood, with an aditional lamp socket in the middle of the hood, so i will have pretty even lighting. right now i bought a 4 pack of 13 watt cf's so i can test the watts, and their light is 5750k i think. its alot whiter than my original hood lights anyways. thanks for all the suggestions.

Really want to see how you plan to mount them in the light strip. Keep us updated

You get the two bulb kit which offers either 2 shorter or one longer reflector.

well i got one of the hoods semi completed. its pretty shabby looking, but it works fine. i will also add another dual socket in the middle, but i just wanted to see how it would work with 2 lights. its light is a more yellow, natural light than my old tubes. the last one is with the flash..

much better.. the 3rd bulb will make it even brighter
