Steve, the only problem with a single light over your tank would be that the sides would look dark. The spread isn't far enough with just one bulb to reach all parts of the tank. Two halides would be much better.

How muchis that fixture (above) sorry I cant buy from u sanchez, but im hoping to set up a smalkl 10 gal refuge this winter break, that I can house a collection of corals in, as well as a MANTIS (TIM U ARE MY IDOL) Yeah, so thta would work perfectly for the refuge. So my refuge total comes to-roughly 200 $ the light is most expensive.
