Most light in a AGA 5g minibow hood

Recommended Posts

Anybody have any sugestions? I'm trying to cram as much light into the AGA minibow hood as I can.

 

Finally decided to setup another nano, been quite a few years (like 6?) sense I had the 10g going.

 

I was thinking the 2x13w 50/50 setup with homedepot ballasts.

 

but if I could fit larger wattage bulbs in that little cover I would. I am definitly sticking with the original cover for the tank.

Hey, I'm planning on putting 4 13w bulbs over my 2.5g!! I going to try and use 18watters if I can. One question, can you use regular NO ballasts for PC? I haven't been able to find PC ballasts at Home Depot.

 

You should be able to fit way more than that over a 5g!

Erik. The ballast he Is talking about and that youasked me about are NO ballast's. The number you will use to look them up at Home depot is 200H2 . It is a replacment ballast for a regular flourecent 20 watt 24" bulb strip light. The ballast will fire up the 13w 50/50's from hello lights .com. I have three of them on my 5.5 right now :)

Looking at the factory cover, it looks like 2x13w will be a really tight fit?

 

Have others been able to fit more into the factory cover? L8r mega
