Default 250 watt halide on a 75. Got

My self a halide lamp today. Trouble is, it doesn't cover the whole tank light wise. Is there a way to get more light coverage?

No. Typically a 75g is 4' long, which requires two lights for full coverage. You can raise the light higher to increase spread, but you lose intensity.
