I run a 150w mh on both my 15 and 20... not chilling either one right now, but I do keep my place pretty cool.

one light on each... I really recommend my cheaper bulb over the more expensive one though... definitely get a phoenix 14,000k and not a giesemann megachrome coral (too white and more expensive.)

make sure you get a double ended, but have a UV glass shield under it... they're brighter, but aren't self shielded... most fixtures do come with the shield though.

You can customize your colors with the bulbs on the T5HO... it'll have built in timers and moonlights too.. that's the best bet IMO... I just had the MH at the time for the 20long before the T5HO craze hit and I wasn't really willing to spend more money for the same or slightly better performance and on my 15, the footprint is too small to run a T5HO..

I dunno... my heater on my a/c broke last night so I woke up to it being 60F and I've got a cold.. so I'll get the camera at first convenience.
