Default Smallest HQI lights for nano reef

Have you been to www.nano-reef.com? If you want to see pictures of a
70w MH working LOOK THERE. Also... where have you seen a 20-30w MH?

Well, one point source over 16" lenght could be
too concentrated in one place and too dark in others...
I was hoping to find 20-30W and put maybe 2 of these.

What do you guys tnink?

I think you should run the 70w MH. That's not too strong. Keep in
mind you are trying to simulate the sun. With that MH you'll be able
to keep SPS and Clams.

Smallest I have seen would be 75W bulbs - they
seem to be too strong for a 16" long 5 gallons tank.

Have you seen anything smaller than this on the market?
Or nano-reef is destined to use power compact fluorescents?
