Halides in a 24G Nanocube

[drjuice28]

Hey All,
Has anyone out there got any good recommendations for retrofitting halides into the original 24G nanocube hood? I'm in the market for an upgrade to the 2x36 PC's that come stock, just looking for some tips if anyone's done it on their own.

Thanks!

Yeah, nanotuners has got some good stuff...if you're looking to drop 300$ on a new hood altogether. I'm more interested in a DIY project that will allow me to keep the 72W PC setup, and bolster in with another 150 MH. In short, I'll need a small bulb/socket setup. Any recs?

You'll need a new reflector as well. The stock one is beveled up and you will need that space for the MH. I've been looking into doing some mods to the hood as well.

I just bought two, 24 LED bulbs (blue 430nm) that I'm going to install as dusk/dawn lighting. Also to increase the actinic lighting as well. I'll post up when its complete with a step by step if it’s successful.

Good luck with your venture. I'm sure you'll get it together.
