+1 for Metal Halides if you want to keep LPS or SPS or clams.

My Nano - 34 Gallons - 150w HQI Metal Halide - 3 Power Heads - No Over Heating Problems.

What the heck?? Why aren't you guys getting heating issues??? What kind of powerheads do you have? Maybe it's my powerheads, and not the lights...

I am using a compact flourenscent light with my ten gallon. I was going to buy another one for this one if I bought it. I don't know anything about T5 lighting. What are the pros and cons with T5?
