This should answer all of your questions about how MH work (plus it saves me valuable typing time). Part V: Everything You Need to Know About Metal Halide Lamps and Ballasts: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2007-03/sj/index.php What temperature does the room your tank is in get to during the summer? If its in a cool basement you may not need anything. If its in a hot apartment with no air conditioning you might have a big problem with heat. A single MH of either wattage should be able to light a 2'x2' area well with a decent reflector.
