I have a spare 150W 14k or 20k MH pendant you could borrow. I have steel cables to suspend it, but I dont have a frame to mount it to.
LMK. And no, the pendant isnt for sale  Its for my eventual frag tank.

See how you like the light. I am gonna stick with the 150w MH for a 24X24X12 tank. Some people swear by T5s. You could do a nice (but costly) bank of T5s over that tank.

Get a 250 or 400w 20K MH and build a quick stand out of pvc. The stand can be broken down and stored easily. Paint if black and it looks realy nice.
