    cheap clip on lighting.

    apart from the arcadia arc pod, are there any other cheap clip on lights around with a decent wattage (preferably more than the 11w of the arc pod) also where can i get them from. as i have a 10G tank and need a couple of clip on lights equaling about30w or more. two 18w would be good!

    lighting - overkill?

    i have seen a very cheap over tank liminaire. it has 2x250w halides. it will fit a 4ft tank. my tank is about 60USG. would this be overkill!!? i think it will work out at like 7wpg or something. i can find out if if i could run one light on its own but i doubt it. is it worth it?
