    yoo should get a 150 watt metal halide light.... lol not really that would fry stuff. i agree with mattheuw1 about he 18 inch t5. i wont be terribly expensive either seeing as its small.

    T5's would be great, but I don't want the light fixture hanging over the sides of my tank.

    The LED fixture holds promise. Does anyone else have experience with LED fixtures. I know virtually nothing about them.
