I have moved the contents of my 20 gal (24x 12) to a 33 gal. (36x 12) to get more clearance around the sides and the fact that the tank stand and hood which I already had fits the space in my den better. I positioned my 2x65w pc Aqualight 1 -10000k and one actinic lamp under the hood. In addition to this I have added a 20w NO Marineglo flourescent.

I would like to improve the lighting without spending a whole lot of money.

Do I gain anything by switching the actinic for another 1000K or a 50/50?

I have considered taking the Aqualight apart and using the lamps ballasts and endcaps in the hood and mounting a 150w HQI but I am worried about heat issues.

The dimensions of the hood inside are 36.5x12.5x6.5

Thanks for any thoughts.
