Lighting

I am so cinfused by all the jargon! I want to add metal halide lighting to my tank. It is a 29 gallon. I have found this light, what do you think? Any info would be appreciated. If this does not look like it would work what would you suggest for my 29 gallon?

Sounds like an awesome light. The only problem I see is that a 29 gallon tank is usually 30 inches long.....

I agree but think you would still be ok on your tank might look a bit off when you hang it but should still do the job.

The next step up in this particular set up is 36" and 480 watts. So the light would be to long for the tank and is that to much light forhte tank? Sorry to be so full of ?'s and I do really appreicate any input!
Thanks,
