If your aquarium is small, and if the surrounding area is also small, you'll surely want tools and equipment that don't take up much space but are highly efficient. If that's the case, you'll definitely be interested to get a metal halide lamp for your aquarium. Metal halide lamps are known to produce high-intensity light even with their compact size. For such small lamps, metal halide lamps are efficient and powerful.

You might want to look into the 175-Watt 14000K Metal Halide Bulb - Hamilton, Mogul Base from Pet Store if you're searching for a good metal halide lamp. This lamp offers crisp, high-intensity light that can enhance coloration of fish and corals. Its white light is tinged with a bit of a blue tint, which brings out colors very vividly. The light it produces is enough to simulate daytime sunlight, though you may want to use other lamps when simulating sunrise or sunset.

The 175-Watt 14000K Metal Halide Bulb - Hamilton, Mogul Base can be used for reef tanks as deep as one-and-a-half feet. Other lamps don't reach those depths, but this lamp will do that with no problem. It works with standard-sized magnetic or electronic ballasts, so setting it up will be a convenient process.
