Does anyone make a Metal Hailide conversion for JBJ 12g Nano

[Logic_Bomb]

? Or is there a set of instructions for making one myself? It is a 12g standard (not DX) Nano.

Man that's a tough one. I sure haven't heard of any meant-for kits, but a McGuyver type retrofit is always a trail to be blazed.

So I'm thinking to suspend a MH would require an open or cut top..salinity hassles potentially but an auto-topoff system costs about $65 and will fix that. try californiareefs.com or run a search on google for this in case I've typed it in wrong.

Canopy mod with fans is another approach, but I'm seeing a raised canopy for spacing needs and this required new fabrication--part of the appeal of the nano cube line is the soft plastic curves and this is tough to recreate, but not 100% necessary. Just brainstroming.

dude, on another site that will remain nameless.......a girl was finishing a 75w retrofit onto the hood. Not alot of money And "she" claimed that it didn't cook. I dunno if its real or not but maybe worth exploring. Check some of the Lighting stores for a MH at 75watts.

Neat! I would have use for the 2.5 setup, would be nice to get it in time for the buildoff but I don't think it will happen. I bet that guy's site is in good demand with all the JBJ aquarists... good referral.

He does great work. I got the canopy and base for my 2.5 from him. You won't be disappointed.
