I'm thinking about a nano tank for my desk at work and saw this little tank at WalMart:

I really think it looks clean and would fit great on my desk. I like the light fixture and wondered if you could replace the halogen with w LED-Halogen bulb like this one (or something similar since I'm not sure what the exact bulb size is):

The obvious issue is the wavelength. I know people have made LED fixtures with the right wavelength. Does anyone know if the bulbs in this type of fixture coudl be swapped out with the correct ones and used?

I know nothing about working with LEDs so I'm not sure if the bulbs can just be pulled out and replaced or if it is more compicated than that. Can someone enlighten me (no pun intended).
