Single Double Ended 150W Metal Halide Pendant Lights - eBay (item 120273532777 end time Jun-22-08 23:06:06 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/Single-Double-Ended-150W-Metal-Halide-Pendant-Lights_W0QQitemZ120273532777QQihZ002QQcategoryZ463 14QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

I have had excellent reviews about this light, very nice and very good price, about 1/2 or 100$ less than the Aqua medic Ocean light.

Here it is on my tank at home:

I just drilled into the metal conduit pipe to mount.

Will this light work well over a 3'L by 18"W by 20"H tank? Plenty of light spread?

Is that the 60 gallon (24in cube) tank?

My tank is 24x18"

36" is too long IME.

hey tom,

i decided to pick up one of these lights, what suspension kit are you using with your setup on that tank, also do you have other shots of the light on another setup (s)

I used the same kit that came with the light.
Just drilled some holes into the pipe and screwed it on.

No, this is the only tank with this type of light.
The pictures are rather self evident.
