    Default Converting Coralife Square Pin

    I have a Coralife 36" AquaLight Fixture - 2 x 96W with Square Pin lights, like this

    Coralife 36" AquaLight Fixture - 2 x 96W

    I would like to convert it to take 2 x 96W with Straight Pin lights or four or more T5 HO Bulbs because the replacement bulbs are cheaper.
    Has anyone done this? Is it even possible? I need a little help in being pointer in the right direction.

    Just search these converters on eBay. The straight pin bulbs are basically the same bulbs with square pin configuration.
