T5's are the best replacement Fluorescent wise.. Coralife does not have a retro kit for the aqualights.. best bet is to look online or in store for new PC's 10K and Actinic.. I got 3 from Foster/smith for $21 a pop +shipping when they had a two week sale
For those that haven't seen the article already..

Got my red sea skimmer that I paid $25 for.. just need a inlet pipe and i'm golden.. probably gunna buy the AquaC Urchin from Joe and then someone here at work is going to sell me a lot of 10,20,30 gal tanks for $40 and i'll make a sump then order a life reef overflow..
