what kind of light should I get for my 29g , I am thinking about switching the display to a 20g? it has a 65 watt PC on it now, so 2-3 watts/gallon , I was planning to do LPS at the top, soft coral at the middle and shrooms/zoos at the bottom. now, however I want to keep things like monti cap, maybe some other less light needing SPS, high light LPS, and even a small nem, if I can find them Id love mini carpets. so what light would work? I will also be building a canopy, so need recomendations for a cheap retro fit kit.

Since you're going retro, a 4xT5HO retro kit would be a good start (probably not going to be able to fit more than 4 bulbs above a 29g). All carpets get huge though - you won't be able to keep much else in a 29g with a carpet. ReefGeek retrofit kits are nice.

Another option is a retrofit 150W/175W halide.
