yeah i moved out of my condo for that main reason. just got to damn hot. and in the winter everyone liked to have the heat maxed out as well.

i have a 150w mogul pendant and its not to bad for heat

nova extreme pro has a 6 bulb in 20 inches. the down side to anything under 24" is that no one makes bulbs for them. I agree with lastlight, take a look into LED's esspecally for what you want it sounds perfect

What LED's would you look into other than Elos?

The DIY forum on RC has a few amazing write-ups if you're feeling adventurous. I think most people are using the CREE leds.

agreed, same with on nano reef. they have a few write ups cause the elos is out there for pricing. I will search for them tomorrow
