I've been on on the phone with Innovative Lights.

Princeton is the sales guy there and he's been really helpful. He
figured out that I can fit a 18" 96W Aqualight PC Retrofit Kit in my
Eclipse - the fixture is the same width I have now, but shorter. It
would give me about 2.6 watts per gallon.

I'm concerned about the heat of system in the plastic casing. Anyone
have thoughts on that?

1) Where does the new ballast mount? Inside our outside the case. If inside,
it might cause heat problems. If outside, it could be a shock/fire hazzard.
Has he sold this to anyone else still living? How'd they make out?

2) Does it come with a more efficient reflector than the Eclipse or is the
Eclipses's reflector sufficient. A poor reflector might lead to more heat
and be a waste of your extra watts. If you read the A.H. blurb, they big on
the reflector.

3) How does the cost of this kit compare to the cost of the A.H. Supply kit?
I gather you're favouring convenience over price?
