I have this satellite 2x40 c/f on my 16 gal bowfront:

I plan on removing the daylight bulb/ballast and upgrading it by installing a 70 watt hqi mh. i would leave the actinic and also install an additional fan. Firstly, what do you guys think of this retro? Good idea? easy enough for a diy? I know some of you, (master er, especially) do tons of diy, any tips.
also, should i go with a 10,000k or 20,000k? Like i said, i plan to keep the actinic, so i don't know if a 20,000k with the actinic would be too blue. i prefer more of a blue look than the white light though.
thanks guys and gals :thanks
