    Im wanting to upgrade from PC to MH lighting in the 29g..But i really have no clue what i am doing and how to do it lmao!

    What do i need? is there a certain one to buy for the biocube? what wattage?

    My LFS has a MH in and its like the K2 viper thingy or whatever, it has a built in fan and i think its a 150w..Im thinking that will work. What you do you guys think? but if i am going to do this i want to keep the tank enclosed, how do i do that?

    The K2 is a common upgrade for your cube. You should be able to order a cover from the manufacturer.
