The ultimate HQI retro for your Biocube 29, this 150w HQI based lighting retro was custom built and designed by Nanocustoms to give you uncompromising performance.

After nearly 2 full years of testing, Nanocustoms has developed a foolproof way to mod a 150w HQI into your factory canopy, all while retaining the factory splashguard. While to some this may seem trivial, it means safe temperatures, and enduring operation.

Featuring the highest quality components and Nanocustoms experience, the 1.150 series for the Biocube 29 is the choice for those who want to add HQI light, all while retaining the factory fit, finish, and appearance. This is the retro for the person who wants to keep high light requirement species such as Acropora and other SPS / Clams. This upgrade also allows you to keep your two stock 36w power compact bulbs to make your canopy a lighting powerhouse. Your metal halide lighting and PC bulbs all have their own power cords and switches for highly customizable lighting scenarios.

Please note: Soldering is NECESSARY. Our results and standards of safety are based on soldered/heatshrunk connections.

**All HQI lighting kits and complete systems are safe for your all-in-one aquarium. Each HQI lighting kit and system comes equipped with a heat-activated thermal cut-off switch and a fan relay switch to prevent any possible damage to your tank.**

**NOTE - Many newer Biocube systems have shorter cables that exit the canopy as opposed to the older versions, which had much longer cables (3-4'). If you have shorter cables, it is required to cut the longer cable from the stock Oceanic ballasts to complete the installation as outlined in our instructions. Please contact us for further clarification if desired.**

Run fans 24/7 or at least 2 hour after halide turns off to ensure proper cooling.  Nanocustoms also highly recommends replacing fans every 6-8 months for optimum heat removal and proper cooling throughout the canopy.
