    you could always make a mesh lid and set your lights over it
    It takes a long long time to build a coral reef. Step by step the reefs survive on partnerships. And the most important partners are you and I.

    there are always options! have you checked out the nano build contest going on? browsing through some of those builds may inspire an idea or three.

    how many gallons in your tank? what type of light requirements are you trying to reach? are you sticking to a lid design or considering an open tank?

    i have a 26gal cube with a pendant fixture that works very well .. something like this:

    but it is only a 55 watt 2C compact fluorescent. the tank is a brackish set up to house a green spotted puffer only, and doesn't require much lighting.

    there are MH pendants very similar in style available also .. and don't forget the LED options!

    if you're going with a lid set up, are you building something or buying premade?
