Slight Lighting Problem

Post by sgtmyers88 »

My 155 gallon uses the big T12 florescent lighting system and it seems that the LFS only carry T8 or T5 bulbs. I would like to keep the hood since it matches the tank and stand and thought of modifying its guts to a different lighting system. (maybe dual T5's)
