Orbit Dual PC upgraded with a MH


Jarosh

Recommended Posts

I'm currently mulling over the idea to retrofit my current 36" Dual PC Orbit lighting system with a single 150-175 watt or Dual 70 watt MH's. If I move the current bulbs out from the center as far as I can, there should be enough room for a MH fixture between them. I know I would have to change out the current clear plastic shield for a glass one, and upgrade the fan system to deal with the extra heat.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

There is a member here that started that retro on a 20" (1 70w MH)and 30" (2 70w MH). More of his work can be found in nano-reef.com. I was going to do this conversion on my 30 but just didnt have the time to do it. There are now smaller 70w ballasts out.
