i have a 12x12 nano and cant seem to find a good light to use for it, im looking for a 70w mh but there are not many choices out there for one that i cant find, seems the most popular one is the viper. im looking for one that i can suspend. does anyone know of any others? a nice pendant perhaps? do not wanna go over 70w due to such a small volume of water...

t5's do not go that small yet. They are making 18" ones tho.
I would say you could either get the viper, and rig up a suspension system, OR get a regular pendant, buy a smaller ballast, and screw in a 70 w bulb. Then you could sell the original ballast.

Wow, how high is the light? Ac running? I do not run my ac ever. I might do 150 if all else fails though
