Ok guys ive been looking all around for a decent solution to my problem. My tank is 66inches long and 33 inches deep. Here is my plan so far. I wanted to buy 3 of Hamilton Spot Light Metal Halide Pendant Lighting System and hang them from my ceiling. My only question is will this be an even lighting effect? Will they light up my house since they are not in a hood? The closest thing i can find to a hood that would almost fit is a 60'' that means i would have 3 inches on each side in the dark...
So please guys help me out and give me some suggestions. !!! Thanks

Forgot to mention that i want to go with 400w. Unless someone else thinks that a different combo would pentrate 33 inches of water.

if you want to be put corals on the bottom of your tank you will have to go with 400w Halides.
if you do put those above your tank and you do have dark areas what you can do if you little CF lights that you run over the dark areas.
