Upgrading Juwel rekord 60 to T5 lighting?


I just got two 28w T5 bulbs and I would love to use one of them over my Juwel Rekord 60 while keeping the original hood (my fish are jumpers so the hood is vital)

The hood is currently fitted with a 15w T8 bulb. How can I go about replacing that bulb with on of my T5s? Do I just need to replace the end caps with T5 compatible ones or do I need to rip everything out and start again?

Any help is much appreciated.
