36W PC light are much longer than your 13W, not sure will it fit in your hood. Next, you'll need longer reflector and change ballast also, on the wiring portion its easy if you have some electrical background. Check out nano-reef.com, you'll get some useful idea there

You should not have any problem finding PL ballast, just ask around in DIY shop or self fix, or even sim lim tower. PL tube wise i usually go to pasir ris fish farm area, think its at Lot 63 something like that.
