Also, it's a totally different type of bulb. Like trying to put a driveway floodlight into a desk lamp. Just doesn't fit!

thanx for the analogy

so how would these lights work in a 37 gallon
Finally, an affordable lighting system with non-stop performance that’s also ultra-efficient. While this low-profile 24-hour lighting system is cheaper to run, it produces more than three times the lumens of comparable products. The Satellite includes our revolutionary SunPaq™ dual color lamps together with our Moon White Lunar Light, creating a value that’s out of this world.
* Affordable 24-hour lighting system
* Low profile
* Energy efficient electronic ballast
* 4 lamps in 2
* Dual phosphor technology
* The only single strip to include lunar lights
Professional Design, Novice Price
24-hour ultra-high output lighting system. The Satellite is the first entry level lighting system to include the latest technologies and professional features resulting in outrageous performance at an affordable price.
The Backbone
Advanced electronic ballast architecture. The patented circuitry inside each ballast ensures consistent high performance and low energy consumption while meeting FCC standards with EMI protection and low THD. All components are the highest quality available, meeting ISO 9001 standards, and are potted to reduce thermal stress and increase ballast life expectancy.
SunPaq Enhanced
Revolutionary SunPaq lamps incorporate a proprietary blend of phosphors from Nichia (the world’s leading phosphor manufacturer) for the ultimate in spectral distribution, creating eye-popping aesthetics and life promoting energy. We didn’t stop there - the SunPaq lamps feature the industry’s only 18-Karat gold plated pins for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance as well as Philips brand filaments. A German parabolic reflector, coupled with our revolutionary dual phosphor SunPaq lamps, produce stunning output - the highest in the industry.
Viewing Around the Clock
Built-in Moon White Lunar Light completes the 24-hour lighting cycle, providing rhythmic moon luminance for increased spawning and reproduction. The Moon White Lunar Light casts a crisp moon glow for optimum nocturnal simulation and nighttime viewing.
Sleek and Cool
Heavy duty 1.7 mm extruded aluminum housing provides optimal heat dissipation and unmatched strength. The sleek, contoured, low profile style is perfect for any application.
* Dimensions: 30" L x 5.5" W x 2.5" H
* Wattage: 65W
* No./Color Temp: 1-SmartPaq
* No. of Lunar Lights: 1
* Fan: No
* No. of Switches: 1
* Configuration: A

65watts isn't much for a 37 gallon tank. I had 300w on my 29! Look into something with a 150w metal halide bulb and maybe a pair of Power Compact bulbs.

SPS is the hardest. If you meant LPS (hammers, brains, forgspawns) you might be able to get away with something like the light you are talking about. That's IF it has 2 65w bulbs and not a total of 65w.

HOw EXCITING!!!! It sounds like we will have the same lights. Our trusted (rare) LFS guy said basically what was said above. They seem to work pretty well for us so far. What kind of brain are you looking at getting? I just love 'em.

this is probably a really stupid question but could you get any corals besides gorgonians under regular flourescents?
im still getting the pc eventually.
