metal halide and Biocube 29

[nvmycj]

Hi guys!
Does anyone have a metal halide in/on their BioCube 29 tank? I've got a custom built canopy that I'd like to put halides in.
Can you post some pics of your tank and lighting setup?
I'm afraid that I'm going to have some dark spots or shadowing in my tank due to my LR setup.
Thanks for your advice/help/pix!
P.S.
I also posted this in the lighting, equipment and DIY section

Hi,
The shadows created by the rock gives the tank a natural look. Also it will allow for corals that don't want all that light, and allows you to keep a better variety in the tank. The only real problems are the heat and if a tiny little drop of water hits the hot MH bulb it will expode. Those bulbs are very expensive, I paid $70.00 per bulb.
