I have been researching this some. I have recently decided to buy a Eclipse 1 hood for a 18 gallon tall 20x10x20in tank. It takes typical 18" flourescent tubes. It generally only has one of these bulbs, but I found a twin bulb version that takes 2 18" bulbs which I ordered 2 days ago off the internet. This twin bulb version was very hard to find because Marineland no longer makes it. There are conversion kits available to convert these to compact fluorescent for much higher wattage. I was initially looking at the system 12 but after a lot of work I found it only has 1 13 watt compact fluorescent bulb crammed into a very small space. The Eclipse 2 hood has 2 standard fluorescent bulbs (not sure the size 18 or 20"). Again there are conversion kits available to upgrade to compact fluorescent. I will be getting my Eclipse 1 (twin) in a few days, if I learn any more after setting it up I will post an update. Hope this helps.
