Lighting?

Lighting?

I notice you have a 32 Watt light on your minbow 7. I assume it is a powercompact unit. What brand and length is it and how do you have it on top of the tank? (A picture would be awesome.) I ask because I am toying with the idea of setting up an old minibow 7 with some softies and zoo's, similar to what you have going on, and I am having trouble figuring out which light would fit best. I've seen some 32 watt and some 2X18watts that I think would work but it would be cool to see a picture of one in action. Thanks it advance. BTW sweet setup, I cant wait to see it grow in some more.
 
I bought this retro kit from my lfs
Reflector-Bulb.jpg
It is 15" long with the end cap. I proceeded to take the original bulb, reflector, and ballast out. I then installed my new reflector, and mounted the stand- offs. I installed the bulb and went from 14 watts no flourscent to 32 pc.
 
Well I didn't really like the color of the 50/50 bulb so I took the stand-offs out and re mounted them to the extreme front of the hood. I also put some spacers in there because everything would only fit at the very bottom. Next I mounted the ballast from the original light to the back of the hood,

, then I took the reflector assembly apart from the original light to get the endcaps.
