I'm looking to swap out this MH retrofit for a PC retrofit on my 10g tall display tank at the office. The airconditioning is turned off during the weekend and my tank temps are in the mid-eighties even with a 4" computer fan.

The only retro I have found that will fit is the 13w kit on Hellolights.com for $25. I'd like to fit 2 or 3 of these in the canopy (12"x12"). If you have any other type of PC or T5 setup that would fit under the canopy, let me know. 13w PC retrofit

So, if you have a PC or T5 kit and want to upgrade to a metal halide setup, please PM me. Otherwise, I'm looking for $100 for this retrofit. I think I paid $120 for it without the bulbs from Illuming.com. The Astra Lux bulb is approximately 7-8 months old.

The DE setup comes with:
70w 14k Astra Lux "blue" bulb
UV Filter glass
Reflector
NAIS 70w Electronic Ballast
** edit ** I'll throw in an extra bulb - 20k 70w Ushio (probably 4 months left on it) :)

Thanks,
Stan
