I don't know what you consider cheap but Dylan has a metal halide unit for $300 http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=84092

Little oversized for that 20" but if its hanging it wouldn't be that much of an issue.

you could probably do a DIY build from modularled.ca for pretty cheap on a tank that size. I would guess less then $200 depending on what your looking for

lol grizz.... Ive tossed it around.... I was more looking for either a srew in socket type led pendulem or a T5 so i didnt have to do anything

this is for a lion and a crab..... maybe a kenya or 20 and some mushrooms....
just want it to live

low light corals then. you could build a light cheap or even do a couple of panorama pro modules for around the same price. my money is on DIY for this one. or a t5 fixture too. but led is the winner in my books

I have 3 OC I.C.E Cool Par 38's available. 27 watts each 14k color. Uses 9 3watt Cree LEDs. Two would be bitchin' on a 20 cube. 3 would be even better. Plus I can bring them up to EDM for ya as I drive semi up and back every evening. $50 each.
