You're going to want a dual. MH light spread is 24", so in order to illuminate the tank evenly you'll want two. Hopefully someone will chime in with some brands for you. I haven't looked into lighting in many years, and there are a lot of new things available.

And...

dual 250's at least. Good fixtures will be pricey.

I was hoping to stay under a 1000. I really like the reef illumination but I was told they went out of business and I like belize sun and maristar fixtures which both have duals but I haven't been able to find out much about them...
