mmm I'd be tempted to call / email Fluval (Hagen) to see if they do a conversion kit.

As if by magic - I have asked Hagen the same question for the 125.

Hello, Is it possible to upgrade the T8 lighting on the Roma 125 to T5 so that I can move to Marine? Would it require a new hood? Or is there a way to remove the T8 and re-fit with T5? Many thanks, Simon

Dear Mr Green Thank you for your e-mail. I'm afraid that we don't stock a T5 light unit for the Roma 125, sorry. A good electrician may be able to replace the T8 light tube connectors to T5, you may have to make enquiries. Best Regards, Kath Hirst Customer Service Advisor Rolf C. Hagen (UK) Ltd.

Thanks for that, rang an electrical wholesaler today, and he told me you can get something called "IP55" connectors that will fit into the T8 sockets and allow you to fit T5 tubes, with a little wiring work. Going to his shop at the weekend to find out more; I'll post the info ASAP!

Only thing I can suggest is going down the Juwel Hi-Life T5 Light Units. A 180 Hagen should be the same dimensions as the Juwel Vision 180.

Give Juwel Vision 180 T5 Light T-Bar a google.
