I just got a used dual 96 watt custom sealife retrofit setup. Only I had forgotten how long they were. I would need the fixture to go over a 29 gallon tank (30").
Can I do one of two things.
1) put 96w quads on it with no other modification?
2) put 65w bulbs on it? I know I have heard with normal flours that you can put lower wattage bulbs on electronic ballasts and the ballast will compensate for the lower wattage... is this the case with power compacts as well?
