yep, have already talked to a buddy about MH pendants to hang from a
shelf
that is being installed, well... tomorrow actually...

The only 'real' issue, how many watts??? over a 29g, I'm guessing 2 75w
pendants.... sound good?? oh yeah, then a 10lb Co2 bottle, then a...
better
stop now....


Can you get 75 watt pendants? You might want to consider a single
175watt pendant. What's the depth of the tank?

Yeah a buddy of mine is a contractor, has the 75MH bulbs, set of ballasts
that were hugely expensive, and we're scrounging for the pendants... they
are harder to find than the bulbs and ballasts.... a single 175MH over a
29g, would be an algae farm.... and too much light for a bedroom.... 75 over
a 29g gives 2.58WPG and a 175 over a 29 would give 6.03WPG, unless you hung
it from the ceiling, then maybe... not really..
