Just remember to post your tank's size / dimensions so we can figure things out.

Holy crap! Where?

I know I don't have any lights that short anymore.

I should have a smaller Maxijet you can have. I'll rummage around tonight. won't get home until late, but I'll let you know what I find.

Just a suggestion: I don't know what your settup looks like, but you may want to ditch the glass canopy. Unless you've got a sump under it, you're hindering gass exchanges that occur at the water's surface. Over the long run, the glass is going to get etched from salt spray that's dried up, and light penetration will be seriously hindered; so you'll be using a lot of watts for nothing essentially. Yeah, it means finding a cheap & convenient way to keep it topped off, but it's the way to go.
