I'm getting more light for my 24" tank. I know somebody is going to ask me what types of stuff I intend to keep in the tank. My answer is--anything I want--I don't want lights to be my limitation. I want to be able to put any invert in my tank that I want, and not have an issue with lighting.
THIS is what I have on the tank right now. Not enough light. 130w of power compact in a 24" fixture.
Compact Fluorescent Aquarium Lighting: Coralife Aqualight Double Compact Fluorescent Strip Lights
These are the ones I've been eyeballing.
This is STUPID cheap:
24" 380W Metal Halide Aquarium Light New - (eBay item 130151605440 end time Sep-14-07 19:05:36 PDT)
This is 100w less and about 2.5 times the price.
Reef Aquarium Lighting: Outer Orbit HQI/Compact Fluorescent/Lunar Fixture
100w less and 2.5 times the price.
Metal Halide Aquarium Lighting: Aqualight Pro HQI/Compact Fluorescent/Lunar Light Fixture
Now, I realize there is a risk of buying a Chinese light (ebay) --but who says they ALL aren't made in China?
I could just buy one of these and clamp it on the side of the tank. But, it's as much as the ebay light.
Aquarium Lighting for Nano Reef Aquariums: Viper HQI Metal Halide Clamp Lamp
Not crazy about this. I want something that will sit on top of the tank. I don't want to drill holes and mount stuff in the ceiling to hang this particular unit.
