depends on what livestock you want to have in your tank. Corals? Anenomes? FO?

Sounds like a good application for a pendant to me if you want to use MH.

i want to keep acro and corals.. but no anenomes.. with fish as well.. what would be a good pendant to buy online? and where could i go about getting one?

take a look at my aqua medic metal halide HQI pendants. These are very modern looking and would go well with your tank.
