Default Put a 400watt 10,000k on my 26 bow
It looks good, I'm pretty impressed but I think I need to lower the reflector closer to the top of the tank. The 10,000k is a Ushio and it appears to burn a bit yellow however it's not as yellow as the last 175 watts I had, they got a nice white blue about a week and a half after I started using them.
I'll take some pics when I can.

Coffeeman, I've built a rather roomy hood/canopy for the tank, I've put in 3 4 inch muffin fans, one blowing in two blowing out. The canopy also has an open back. I've not seen any issues at this time from heat. I'm trying to get my crap together and get some pics up.
