Hmmmm, I do have a spare 400w ballast kicking around....
 Will have to think about that one..... What are you doing to fight overheating the water? What are you doing for a canopy?My tank is just a little over 20g, the measurements from the guy I bought it from were off.

I am simply going to get a couple 12v fans from princess auto or something, get a battery charger and run them off that, and let the fixture hang about 12-14" over the tank. There will be a box around the rim of the tank likely extending up about 2-2.5ft, with a lid. The fixture will hang inside that, then one one side, there will be an input fan, and the other side, and output fan. I have this set-up on my 75g right now which has dual 400W halides, and that works just fine. I dont anticipate the water getting heated by the light at all. This system may get a sump in the future, but will not have one for now.

Ok, I ordered a 24" reflector, and an XM 20K bulb. 400w it is!

Sounds great! I am very happy with the XM 20K 400W bulb, and cant wait to set up this one over the 28.
