Is it even possible to add a Halide to back of my canopy a small Halide Light?  Currently I have those T5 Tek Lights from Sunlight Supply I like them but have a nice space at the back of the tank I could add them on to my Canopy. On the cheap DIY type deal?????

I'm not sure, but I've always been curious about it too.  I've got the 48" 4 lamp Sunlight Supply t5 Teklight, and let's say I wanted to grow some sps corals near the top of the tank but I felt I didn't have enough light.  Could you just add another t5 strip to the back of the tank, or some Halides as gauthier suggests?

any thing is possible if you have the time and penchants to do things if you wanted to do a quick add on i saw a 150/175 or a 250w at Ottawa inverts not sure what it was or how much it was  going for but it could be added in 10 min with some moving around of your t5 that you have .for sps MH are the way to go
