Light Fixtures

[Zorg]

My tank has only 1wpg if not less but i can't increase the wattage of the bulb because the light fixture in the cover doesn't allow more than the watts that i have got currently. I was wondering what you would have to do to increase it, Would you have to change the whole thing or what? I don't know what is involved? Any how hope anyone is kinder enough to answer.

I do have a reflector but i don't see how i could put another tube in.

why not?

There is no way to put another one in unless you replace the whle thing as in the cover.
