Spot lights?
 
I am making a tide pool tank and will be running 1 150W MH in the middle and want to maybe put some simple spotlight on the side because the tank is 4' long and the MH won't cover the whole tank. Anyone know a good spot light to help provide some viewing pleasure light? I was thinking of just buying some from lows and putting some 6,500k lights in. Also LED lights would be great too! Thanks for any help.

I wish we had the spotlights that it sounds like you're looking for, however in the US and I believe in EU as well, none of us have them. In Japan at the crazy aquarium trade shows, they've got halide spotlights that can color one coral with a specific color light to make it turn a certain color so they really stick out in the tank and things like that.

I know that doesn't help, but I just thought I would share it.

I don't need spot lights for growing the coral like MH spot lights. I'm just looking for a couple lights to help light up my tank to view all the cool creatures. Also do antic serve a purpose or are they just to make the corals look cool?
