I'm getting new lights for my 46 gal tank. Not sure what I should get. Debating between halide and compact florecent. I don't know much about medal halides. Are they dangerous? That is the main thing that worries me about halides, general saftey. Compacts I'm worried don't have high enough light, but I like that they are safe, low heat, and energy effecent. Any thoughts on what I should choose? Any tips with medal halides? Also I've been looking at an inexpensive 150 w clamp on halide fixture. My tank is 38" wide, is this a good choice for my tank? I think the clamp would be perfect for space reasons, but I'm worried the light won't spread around my tank. Any advice would help!
