Default Eclipse 12 g lighting upgrade

The eclipse 12 g comes stock with a 9 w light, pretty much useless. So I upgraded it to a 96 w quad 50/50 pc. I added a splashgurad made out of 1/4" acrylic to protect the light. Had to cut the reflector a bit to get it to fit. I also added a moonlight which way off center and I will need to adjust. Here are some pics.

Nice work! The color spectrum sure looks better as well.

I love the rock layout too. That's cool.
