Help with choosing a light for my new tank.

[Elan]

This is my first post i beleive, and first off i want to say hi. I'm new to r2r but have been reading and on other sites for a while. I have a 2 month old 75g tank that has been doing very well under t5s. My moms friend just gave me a 15g hexagon that i want to turn into a nano tank. Because of its weird shape i am not quite sure how to do the lighting. I want to be able to keep sps and lps, and not too expensive either.

Thanks, Elan

whats the width of the tank?

about 14''. Its kinda hard to measure.

what about a 70watt HQI? make sure you have lots of air circulation over the tank though or it will heat up your water

Can you show me a link to a good source to buy from? I'm sure i can put a pc fan in there. I only have the tank and need to get the stand made so i am pretty flexible.

I built my own 70w HQI. I have two that I'm not using right now, I can give you some links to find the parts or I can sell you one that i'm not using. PM me :)
